Sourav Ganguly calls Rishabh Pant a generational talent
Former India captain Sourav Ganguly recently ranked Rishabh Pant as the finest red-ball batter behind Virat Kohli and predicted that he will make a “huge impact” in the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Pant’s aggressive style, which comes with certain dangers, has allowed him to prosper, particularly against Australia. His boldness in 2021, on the final day of the fourth Test in Brisbane, resulted in the iconic “Toota Hai Gabba Ka Ghamand.”
Ganguly, who has closely worked with Pant during their time in Delhi Capitals in IPL, believes that the “generational talent” will have his say during the five Tests.
“His special ability. He still needs to evolve and figure out his game in white-ball cricket. But in red ball, he is just fantastic. Look at the innings he has played in England, Australia and South Africa, and you will know, he is a generational talent in red-ball cricket. He is India’s next-best red-ball batter after Kohli and could have a huge impact in the series,” Ganguly said while speaking to Revsportz.
Rishabh Pant lived up to his words on day two of the ongoing SCG Test in BGT 2024-25. He smoked a 29-ball fifty, the second fastest by an Indian in Tests and the fastest Test fifty by a visiting batter in Australia. He made 61 runs in 33 balls with 4 sixes and 6 fours to his name, before getting out.
