Ricky Ponting Lauds Rishabh Pant And Called Him Next Adam Gilchrist, People Are Loving It
India is on the verge of creating history in Australia, all thanks to their spectacular performance in the ongoing test series. India is already 2-1 up and looking to win the series if we consider India’s position in the ongoing final match.
If we have to look for the star player of the ongoing Test Series, three names come to our mind and these names are Cheteshwar Pujara, Jasprit Bumrah, and Rishabh Pant. Amongst the three, Indian wicketkeeper has impressed us the most. Pant has broken records of the most dismissal in a series along with first Indian keeper to score a century in Australia.
Despite so much amazing performances, this series will also be remembered for sledging from Australian Skipper Tim Paine. However, Pant has emerged undisputed champion and won millions of hearts with his performance.
Now, it seems that he has also impressed former Australian Skipper Ricky Ponting. Praising Pant for his performance in the ongoing series, Ponting has called him the next Adam Gilchrist, which is a huge compliment for any wicketkeeper-batsman.
This is what Ponting said about Rishabh Pant:

Yeah. Actually a bit of Gilly and Mahi. Has plenty of time on his side. Provided he is able to handle the adulation back home and keep his feet firmly on ground we're in to watch a great cricketing career. #AUSvIND #SydneyTest @ICC

Coming from vile #RickyPonting I'm not sure how to take it; is it a positive comment?, should we read between the lines?, if it was deed a praise, I am appalled; congrats #RishabhPant!https://t.co/g38SryN8Jl

People always starts comparing with some benchmark players only with couple of good series.. ! Consistency , humbleness and passion which matters for a long term existence. Still lot to go through @RishabPant777 . All the best and be the best for India. @BCCI
