Gavaskar seeks ‘expect game-changing knocks’ from the attacking left-hander Rishabh Pant. Selectors placed Rishabh at No.6 in India’s Test side has given Virat Kohli a chance to play an extra bowling option. Pant is set to be India’s wicketkeeper-batsman for the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand starting on Friday at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
Pant made an outstanding comeback in the second Test against Australia in Melbourne and went on to play a match-saving innings in Sydney and then a match-winning one at the Gabba to help India beat Australia 2-1. The left-hander carried on his superb form in the home Test series against England where he scored a century in Ahmedabad.
While Pant is expected to carry his belligerent form, eyes will be on Kohli as to how he goes about in his third tour of England. The India captain was in red-hot form last time around, scoring 593 runs but big scores have kind of dried out from the bat of Kohli in Tests lately. But that should not be a matter of concern, reckons Gavaskar.
