Mahendra singh Dhonu, who had a tepid run with the bat last years is back in
the scheme of things and Rishahb Pant will be honing his skills playing for
Indian A in a five-match limited overs series against England Lions at home
under the watchful eyes of coach Rahul Sharma a former wicket keeper with
Railways.
Syeud Kirmani, one of Indian’s finest wicket keepers, told “I
think he [Rishabh Pant] is a very fast learner, a bundle of talent. He will
serve Indian for a long time if he keeps his head on his shoulders.” Kirmani
was not altogether approving of the chatter from behind the stumps, however he
was all praise for pant’s wicket keeper kirmani said kirmani “His movement
behind the stumps, particularly to the spinners; he is getting up before the
ball is pitched.
His movement to side of the wicket needs work-a lot of diving
practice is required thought he has the natural ability to dive.” Former India wicket keeper kiran more, who has worked with
Rishabh Pant echoed kirmani’s views. He has talent, but needs to be more
polished, especially while keeping to spinners, said more.
keeping wickets in Australia is not
difficult, but in India the ball does not carry as much more added that with
the bat, pant was already a much-winner Former Indian wicket keeper and pant’s
former Ranji Trophy coach Vijay Dahiya
said it is still “a learning curve” for when it comes to keeping at the highest
level. He added that pant’s partnership with Pujara in Sydney showed that he is
maturing fast as a batsman.
Dahiya was very surprises that pant was dropped
from the T20I squard. Pant is still very much central to Team India’s efforts to
fill the gap left by Dhoni in Test cricket and his looming retirement from the
shorter formats. More, who is also a former chief national selector, said
Dhoni’s return the World Cup.
There is no doubt that Dhoni will be India’s main
but selectors have got more options now with Dinesh Karthik still strongly in
the mix and pant improving. Chief selector M.S.K. Prasad has confirmed that
pant is part of Team India’s world cup plans.
Kirmani, member of the 1983 world cup winning team, is clear
that India will have to go with Dhoni as first choice in such a big completion.
“You need experience
in tournaments like the world Cup said kirmani.
“Besides, he must be there, for
youngster as like pant to learn from him. Dhoni is still as competent with
his Glover-work as he was earlier”. More and Dahiya feel pant could be the
surprise package. Dahiya said he is the best option after Dhoni. “But mind you
there is no pressure on Dhoni.” Said Dahiya “He is a above all selectors
pressure.”
