Mumbai: Rishabh Pant’s wicket keeping performance was not so good in the early part of his career even when he was brilliant in batting. Rishabh’s bleeding hands have been criticized a lot, especially in Test cricket. But former Indian player and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar is very happy to see Rishabh’s growth behind the wicket.
“I am happy to see Rishabh Pant doing well as a wicket keeper. Rishabh’s wicket-keeping performance has been a bit of a concern in some situations, even when he shines with the bat. But Rishabh Pant’s growth in wicket-keeping is big news for Indian cricket. Now the actor is taking this job very seriously. There is not much shaking behind the wicket. His growth is unforgettable like Dhoni. Sanjay Manjrekar also said that when he focuses on batting, he can lose his hand in wicket-keeping, but Rishabh Pant is doing his job beautifully with great sincerity.
Rishabh Pant scored 146 off 111 balls with 20 fours and four sixes in the first innings of the fifth Test against England at Edgbaston and 57 off 86 balls with eight boundaries in the second innings. In the first innings, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja put together a partnership of 222 runs for the sixth wicket. Along with this, Rishabh also performed well behind the wicket. Rishabh took four catches in the match. This is followed by Sanjay Manjrekar’s praise.
