Will change my name': Ravichandran Ashwin hails Rishabh Pant's defence
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|January 11, 2025
Rating wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant's as one of the best in terms of defence in Test matches, former India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin on Friday compared Pant at par with England's Joe Root and Australia's Steve Smith as the best batters in the last seven years, when batting has become "significantly difficult and averages have decreased."
"We must realise that Rishabh Pant rarely gets out playing a defence. He's got one of the best defences in world cricket. Defence has become a challenging aspect, he has the best defence with a soft hand. I will change my name if someone can show me Pant getting out while defending 10 times," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.
"I have bowled to him a lot in the nets, he's not gotten out, he doesn't get an edge, he doesn't get LBW, he has the best defence. I have tried telling it to him. One opinion about Rishabh was that he plays a lot of shots, he has to fight it out in Test cricket.
