Rishabh Pant: After the Melbourne Test, Rishabh Pant felt the need for a change in his batting style. In this match, he played irresponsible shots in both innings.
Rishabh Pant vs Australia
New Delhi: Some players create their own story not only on the field, but also outside the field. Rishabh Pant’s recent return is an inspiring saga. Even though he could not win India in the Handingley Test, he not only created history by scoring a century in both innings, but also gave a befitting reply to critics.
134 and 118… These two scores are not just the figures, but the return of confidence. Pant has become only the second wicketkeeper in the world, who scored a century in both innings of Tests. Shortly before this brilliant return, Pant’s form in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia was a cause of concern.
Just 255 runs in five Tests at a poor average of 28.33. Pant’s aggressive style in Australia was then called ‘stupid’ and Sunil Gavaskar reacted like ‘Stupid, Stuid, Stupid’ after seeing his ramp shot in the Melbourne Test. After this, Pant did not get a chance to play a single match in the ICC Champions Trophy. India won the title by defeating New Zealand in this tournament, but Pant remained sitting on the bench.
Rishabh Pant made distance from social media to overcome this downfall. In March 2025, he deleted WhatsApp and switched off the phone. He used to join himself and start mobile only for necessary conversations. Staying out of the field, it had become his mission to re -create himself.
Capation of Lucknow Super Giants, he could not leave the impression with the bat in IPL 2025. Could not even score 300 runs throughout the season. However, in the last league match, his century against RCB was indicated that Pant’s confidence was returning.
Now Rishabh Pant at new height
With the help of changes and resolutions in itself, the same Pant has reached seventh position in the ICC Test rankings. This is the best ranking of his career. He has told that be it criticism or sitting on the bench, he is not pressed, but more. Now India and England will be face to face in Edgbaston from July 2. Everyone will be eyeing the same player once again, who can bring a storm by remaining calm.
