'He can take the game away from opposition': Ashwin lauds India's 'special player'
It has been a miracle of a turnaround for Rishabh Pant's career. Just over a year ago, there were questions on whether Pant should be given another chance in the team. With inconsistent performances with the bat and insipid glovework behind the stumps, Pant was facing the brunt of criticism from fans and cricket pundits. But a tour to Australia in late 2020 changed all of that. Pant emerged as the hero of India's memorable Test series win in Australia. Not only did he save the third Test in Sydney with a sensational knock of 97, but his unbeaten 89 on the final day of the Brisbane Test also helped Team India breach Fortress Gabba. The left-hander carried the same form in the home series against England where he was among the runs across all three formats. Even in the Indian Premier League, Pant's Delhi Capitals were on top of the table before the tournament was suspended.
Now, as India gear up for the all-important World Test Championship final, many believe Pant could be the game-changer for India in the match. Among them, is India off-spinner R Ashwin.
