Indian wicket keeper Rishabh Pant is enjoying the best phase of his career, as he has been blessed with a happening series in Australia, with the Border Gavaskar trophy helping him shape his career, making him a dependable player. The Indian fans as well as Aussies are equally enjoying his banter with Aussie captain Tim Paine and the young wicket keeper is promising as a batsman too.
Rishabh Pant scored a stunning century on the second day of the final test at SCG, in just 137 deliveries, and in this process, became the first Indian wicket keeper to score a test century in Australia. This was his second test century after his first against England, and his first against Australia. He eventually scored an unbeaten 159(189)*, a timely knock propelling India to a massive 622 runs.
The Border Gavaskar trophy has presented the Indian cricket fans a new player they can celebrate, bank on, and hope to win matches in an entertaining manner with banters ( Pant babysitting Paine's kids, followed by Australian PM inquiring him of sledging has been positive aspects to his persona). Pant is also the Indian wicket keeper with maximum dismissals in a series, and is next only to Pujara in terms of runs scored in this series.
