Dinesh Karthik shared his thoughts about Rishabh Pant after the wicketkeeper showed great batting skills against England. Pant finished Day 1 unbeaten at 65 runs during the Leeds Test match. He kept going strong and scored a century during the first session of Day 2. The left-handed batter was playing his first Test as vice-captain and made a good impression. He started carefully but later played his usual bold and risky shots.
Karthik talked about Pant's batting style before Day 2 started since he was working as a commentator for the series. He explained how Pant's approach can look amazing when it works but foolish when it fails. Karthik said the Indian team knows this is just how Pant plays cricket. The former wicketkeeper believes there is a clear difference between smart risks and dumb mistakes.
Pant made history with his latest century and broke two important records. He became the Indian wicketkeeper with the most Test centuries ever scored. His seventh hundred beat MS Dhoni's previous record of six centuries. Pant also became the first visiting wicketkeeper to score three Test centuries on English grounds. No other overseas wicketkeeper has ever achieved this feat before.
