Rishabh Pant the batsman redeemed himself spectacularly in Australia and his much-criticised wicketkeeping skills are also on the mend, feels senior India stumper Wriddhman Saha who wants the youngster to be given some breathing space as “no one learns algebra in Class I”.
Saha, who is considered India’s No. 1 Test wicketkeeper said he does not believe that Pant’s heroic show in Australia would close the door for him in the Indian team. “You can ask him [Pant], we have a friendly relationship and help each other whoever gets into the XI. Personally, there’s no conflict with him,” Saha said after returning home following the historic Test series win in Australia.
Saha was all praise for Pant, whose 89 not out on the fifth day sealed the match for India at the Gabba for a 2-1 series win. “No one learns algebra in Class I. You always go step by step. He is giving his best and will definitely improve. He has matured and proved himself. In the long run, it augurs well for the Indian team,” he said of Pant who has often been found wanting behind the stumps.
