“His performances have been…”: Rahul Dravid gives MASSIVE statement on Rishabh Pant

With the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar series right around the corner, anticipation is going off the charts especially due the thrilling prospect of the pink-ball Test. Ahead of the first Test, former India head coach Rahul Dravid reflected on a variety of topics including Rishabh Pant’s valiant knock of 89 runs at the Gabba back in 2021 that helped India secure a famous victory against Australia.

Dravid, who has witnessed Pant’s evolution closely, expressed immense admiration for the wicketkeeper-batter’s fearless approach during the Test match in Brisbane.

“I think Rishabh’s was an incredible performance. Watching Rishabh there and chasing to get 89 to win that Test match at the Gabba, with everything on the line and such a depleted side, to put in that kind of performance under that kind of pressure–truly sensational. What a special cricketer he’s been. He’s just taken to Test cricket like a duck to water,” Dravid told Star Sports.

“It’s just phenomenal. I mean, it’s hard to imagine that, after Dhoni left, you felt there might be some time for someone to come in and replace him. I’m not saying he’s replaced him, but certainly in Test cricket, his performances have been absolutely sensational,” Dravid added.

After a rather disappointing display with the bat in the first Test at the Optus Stadium in Perth, Pant will be looking to improve his form in the upcoming Test at the Adelaide Oval.
