1st Test: 'Outrageous' Rishabh Pant Plays How He Wants To, Says Ravi Shastri
Boxing Day Test: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri shared his thoughts on Rishabh Pant’s entertaining knock of 134 on the second morning of the first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Headingley, adding that the ‘outrageous’ wicketkeeper-batter is someone who knows how he wants to play.
Resuming from 65 not out, Pant went on to hit his seventh Test century and go past former India captain M.S. Dhoni (six) for the most Test centuries hit by an Indian wicketkeeper. The flamboyant Pant’s third Test hundred in England, laced with magnificence and madness in stroke-play in equal measure, is a feat no other visiting keeper has achieved before.
"What do you say about Pant?! I used the word outrageous yesterday, and nothing has changed. He plays the numbers game beautifully and plays the way he wants. He will block for a bit and then decides he has to go after the bowler and shift gears."
