It’s outstanding how Pant comes up with series-changing knocks: Wasim Jaffer

TIL Desk Sports/ Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer was left in awe of wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant’s incredible knock of 125 not out in 113 balls, laced with 16 fours and two sixes, saying that it is outstanding to see how the left-handed batter comes up with knocks which change the course of the series.

Pant had begun the tour of England with a stroke-filled 146 runs in the first innings and followed it up with yet another impactful knock of 56 in the second innings of the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston. On Sunday, Pant signed off from the tour with an unbeaten 125, giving India a 2-1 ODI series victory.

“Rishabh Pant is in brilliant form and has already played some incredible knocks in his short career. For someone who’s just 24 years old, it’s outstanding how he comes up with series-changing knocks. He’s played two outstanding knocks in this short tour of England. While the result didn’t go in India’s way in the Test match where he got a hundred, he made sure this time that he finished on the right side,” said Jaffer after the match ended.
