Star batsman of Indian team Rishabh Pant was seen playing in Indian jersey after a long time. He played a strong innings in the match against Ireland and led the team to victory. Pant played an unbeaten innings of 36 runs in his first T20 World Cup match. This was the first match for India for Rishabh Pant, who was badly injured in a car accident in December 2022. The wicketkeeper-batsman made a comeback to professional cricket this year playing in the Indian Premier League. He performed brilliantly while playing for Delhi Capitals and looked fully fit while captaining the team, which earned him an entry in the World Cup. Former Indian cricketer Zaheer Khan has compared Rishabh Pant’s batting with that of Virender Sehwag.
On a tough New York surface, Pant maintained his composure despite the body ball and led the team to an eight-wicket victory. He sealed the victory by hitting a reverse six off fast bowler Barry McCarthy, a shot Barry was surprised to see. Former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan believes Pant’s mindset is what “sets him apart from the rest.”
“He reminds me a bit of Virender Sehwag,” Zaheer Khan told Cricbuzz. He is clear about his game. You can’t be sure if you don’t know it. What happens at the other end does not affect him much. Because he knows what he is capable of and if he succeeds in doing it, that will be enough. And this is what makes it the X-Factor. It has things that make it stand out from the rest. After whatever he has been through in the last 1.5 years he has made a huge comeback.
Virender Sehwag said, “I will talk about his mentality. He hit several shots against the fast bowler, including a reverse sweep. He faced many balls. But this had no effect on his mentality. This makes them unique. A bowler cannot predict what he will attempt. If the bowler knows how the batsman is going to play, they can plan.
