  1. Rishabh Pant’s keeping has been outstanding, says Kamran Akmal Veteran Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman Kamran Akmal has applauded young Indian keeper Rishabh Pant for his amazing glovework in the first Test against England in Nottingham. According to Akmal, keeping is a very tough in England but Rishabh Pant has done an outstanding job. Image source by twitter Rishabh Pant has proved his worth once again behind the stumps in the Test against England which eventually ended up in a draw due to rain. He was involved in the first three dismissals in the second innings as England’s top order crumbled under pressure. Rishabh Pant also grabbed the catch to dismiss the England captain Joe Root off Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling who had scored a fine century as well. He also grabbed three crucial catches in the first innings of England as well. While praising Rishabh Pant for his brilliant glove work behind the stumps, Akmal said on his YouTube channel: “Rishabh Pant deserves a lot of credit. It is very difficult to keep wickets in England and he has been outstanding. He took catches to send back Zak Crawley and Dom Sibley as well. It was not easy, some balls even fell in front of him. But he was up to the task and provided the bowlers the support they needed behind the wickets." With the bat, he also scored a quick fire 25 off 20 in the first innings. While there were mixed reactions on his quick cameo in the first innings, former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has backed him as he believes, Pant must stick to his natural aggressive approach as it gives him the best chance to succeed with the bat as well.

If it comes off, it will look spectacular and people will glorify him. Under pressure, if you play freely and the ball hits the middle, then you look a million dollars but if you get dismissed then it can be otherwise. People will question your tactics but I think he did the right thing. This is his natural style of playing and this is how he creates impact. Rishabh Pant provided impetus to the innings. His 25 may have been a small knock but it put England bowlers slightly on the backfoot.” Follow Cricadium Stats, Latest Cricket News, Live Cricket Score, Fantasy Tips, Dream11 and Today Match Prediction Stay updated Indian Cricket Teamwith all the cricketing roster, records, history & action.
