Across two series, where he batted in 11 innings, Rishabh Pant has become a folklore hero, a super-star, a legend, aged 23. The left-hander whacked 16 sixes in the 18 innings he batted in in the ICC WTC 2019-21 – 4 of those were to Nathan Lyon, and 6 against Jack Leach.
On the back of his superb batting form, and improved glovework, Pant has now become India’s first-choice keeper across formats.
