Sourav Ganguly names Rishabh Pant as the next best Test batter after Vitat Kohli
Recently, the former Indian skipper named Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant as the next best red-ball batter after legendary Virat Kohli. He also said that Pant will have a huge impact in Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. While speaking to Revsportz, Ganguly said, "His special ability. He still needs to evolve and figure out his game in white-ball cricket. But in the red ball, he is just fantastic. Look at the innings he has played in England, Australia and South Africa, and you will know, he is a generational talent in red-ball cricket.”
Ganguly added, “He is India's next-best red-ball batter after Kohli and could have a huge impact in the series.” Notably, Pant scored 40 and 61 runs in both the innings of the fifth Test against Australia, being played at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
