This is now Rishabh Pant's third tour of England, and his legend continues to grow.

- Rasesh Mandani

MUMBAI: Long before Brendon McCullum joined forces with Ben Stokes, the aggressive left-hander from India had shown his commitment to disrupt play even in his debut series in 2018.

Following Pant's twin hundreds during the Leeds Test, the England bowlers now know they will have to search for ways to blunt his genius for the remainder of the tour.

"When I first saw him, he reminded me of Adam Gilchrist... a different sort of player, of course, but... the (big) difference it can make to a team when a wicket-keeper can bat at that level. The beauty is Rishabh gets runs at a very fast rate which gives you time to win cricket matches," former India head coach Greg Chappell said on the sidelines of the launch of 'str8bat', a smart bat technology device.
