“He is a batter who scored runs at a strike rate of almost 200 on a difficult pitch. This is Rishabh Pant’s specialty. His record in T20Is is very ordinary, an average close to 20 and a strike rate of 120 or lower, but we saw today what this guy can do,” Manjrekar added.
Pant’s T20I record includes 987 runs at an average of 22.43 and a strike rate of 126.37 in 66 matches. Despite these modest statistics, his performance against Bangladesh demonstrated his potential to be a game-changer.
Former India all-rounder Sanjay Bangar also commended Pant for his approach, noting his initial caution before launching into big shots.
“Everyone will talk about the four fours and four sixes he hit, but he scored only one run off his first six or seven deliveries. So the best thing was that he gave himself time, especially against the spinners. We have the notion that he plays a lot of shots against spinners,” Bangar said.
Bangar further observed Pant’s comfort against both pace and spin.
“Actually, his best shots are against the pacers and he gets out many times against spinners. Today he batted well against both pacers and spinners. So I feel a stability has come into his mind considering the way he batted,” Bangar noted.
