Gavaskar, Bhogle laud Rishabh Pant’s wicketkeeping

I am extremely impressed with Rishabh Pant's keeping today. I spent a lot of time with Ricky Ponting recently in Australia and he was praising Rishabh Pant's work ethic a lot.

Hyderabad: Rishabh Pant’s wicketkeeping has always been under scrutiny with the youngster dropping a few catches every now and then. However, he took two brilliant catches – each of Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Siraj – during the second day and former Indian cricket great Sunil Gavaskar and noted commentator Harsha Bhogle lauded the youngster.

“I am extremely impressed with Rishabh Pant’s keeping today. I spent a lot of time with Ricky Ponting recently in Australia and he was praising Rishabh Pant’s work ethic a lot. He was telling that Pant is a young player who wants to improve. Ponting told that when Pant had come for the IPL he was a little over-weight. So, when he was asked to reduce his weight a little, he put a lot of hard work and lost a lot of weight and was back to his normal weight when he reached Australia,” added Gavaskar.

Meanwhile Harsha Bhogle took to twitter lauding his two catches. “I have enjoyed these two catches from Rishabh Pant as much as I have enjoyed his batting….,” he wrote.
