'He instills fear in opposition': Dinesh Karthik identifies youngster who’s going to play ‘100 Tests for India'

India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik applauded his fellow stumper, Rishabh Pant, for his exploits with the bat in international cricket in the recent past. Pant has been in incredible form across all formats in the last few months and made himself crucial for Team India's chances in the upcoming Test assignments in England which begins with the much-awaited World Test Championship against New Zealand on June 18 in Southampton.

While speaking with Sports Today, Karthik heaped praises on Pant's ability to handle pressure situations and even backed the youngster to play 100 Tests for India.

“I think, in the short while that Rishabh Pant has been around, he has put up some fabulous performances, he has played in some real high-pressure games. Be it the World Cup final, be it the IPL final and the beauty is he has done well in a lot of these games, personally. I think he is someone who is always up for the challenge, in the IPL final he got a fifty.

“I remember a couple of years ago, he won a game single-handedly for Delhi Capitals, I think it was the eliminator. In these crunch games, he has always found ways to get runs. That shows his ability to handle pressure. He really thrives under pressure.
