Indian teen sensation Rishabh Pant said that Virat Kohli, Virender Sehwag, and Adam Gilchrist are my role models. Pant scored a triple century in the second round of Ranji Trophy match against Maharashtra.
“If knocking the door doesn’t help, break it open”. “Yes, I won’t deny that I was very hurt after I didn’t make it to the India A team’s tour of Australia. But then I realized that I have to score plenty of runs. Itna runs banaoon ki koi ignore na kar sake(Score so much runs that no one can ignore me),” Pant told PTI
Rishabh Pant played a key role in helping India reaching the finals of ICC Under World Cup held in Bangladesh this year. He also took part in the IPL 9 where he was a part of Delhi Daredevils team. Pant has been in excellent form during the first two matches of Ranji Trophy 2016-17 season. He has scored 454 runs from 2 games.
“Nothing much. Just to focus on loose deliveries and don’t let go any of them.” But if 300 comes off 320 balls, then you must have hit good deliveries also, he laughs: “Viru bhai ne 294 (293 vs Sri Lanka in 254 balls) kitne balls mein banaye the. How many balls did Viru bhai take to make 293. Viru bhai and Gilchrist are my idols. I also admire Virat bhaiya’s batting.”
Rishabh Pant is a natural stroke maker who can destroy any bowling line-up on his day. If he continues to perform in the upcoming matches he could be seen soon in the Indian team. He could be in contention to be a part of the team in the fourth and fifth game of the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand.
His performance shows that if one can have talent and given chance then one should grab the chance with both hands.
