Gilchrist remarked, “I played an aggressive brand at the time, but Rishabh looks fearless.”
One of the few batters who hasn’t adjusted his batting strategy depending on the circumstance is Rishabh Pant. On Day 5 of the Gabba Test 2021, he bravely attacked Nathan Lyon on the spinning deck, demonstrating his bravery. Adam Gilchrist, a former cricket player for Australia, has confirmed this characteristic of the batter and described the 26-year-old as more aggressive than him.
When batting first for the Australian team, Gilchrist was well-known for his aggressive style. For a few bowlers, the wicketkeeper-batter combination with Matthew Hayden was a terrifying sight. The veteran seemed impressed with Pant, who showed the least respect for bowlers when at the crease. Gilchrist continued by calling Pant a “class act.”
I suppose he attacks a bit more than I did. At the time, I played a strong brand, but Rishabh seemed fearless. I do appreciate that he occasionally applies a little pressure by putting his foot on the brake. Gilchrist concluded that he is a class act.
He is, as you say, a bum on a seat, and people really do pay money for him. To watch him play cricket, I would gladly pay money. That’s a terrific characteristic to have, in my opinion, if people are seeing it that way, since he achieves the desired goals and, as we all know, is a winner and survivor. In all he does, he exudes class. He is humorous and a lot of fun. He continued, “He knows how to approach a very serious business in a fun way.”
In the second innings of the first Test match at Chepauk on September 21, the Uttarakhand batsmen was in deadly form against Bangladesh. In the opening session of Day 3, he and Shubman Gill amounted to almost 120 runs. In the process, he even scored 109 off 128 balls to record his sixth Test century.
