Australian speedster Pat Cummins who is all set to play for Kolkata Knight Riders in the upcoming season of the cash-rich league is in awe of India’s wicketkeeper Batsman Rishabh Pant who will be leading Delhi Capitals franchise in absence of their regular skipper Shreyas Iyer due to injury in IPL 2021.

Pant who is in sublime form with the bat starting from the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy which India won twice on Australian soil where the swashbuckling wicket-keeper –batsman scored 274 runs for India.

He played an instrumental knock for Men in Blue in the third and fourth Test where he clinched 97 and 89 runs respectively where the latter knock was played on Brisbane which was touted as Australia fortress where the Kangaroos haven’t lost a single Test match from last 33 years which was eventually ended by the individual brilliance of Pant, Gill and Pujara.

Due to his brilliant performance in the longest format of the game, he was inducted in India limited over squad against England where he continued his magic with the bat by playing some fearless knock at crunch moments of the game. He has improved a lot on his wicket-keeping skills by converting some amazing stumpings.

Pat Cummins stressed that Pant, when he is batting, is a treat to watch and what he has done on the Australian soil is something 50 other players wanted to do but they couldn’t do as they don’t have the caliber that the talented left-handed wicketkeeper batsman possess.

“As a fan, you always tend to enjoy someone who is playing a completely different game than everybody else. They are fearless, you look at them and feel geez wish I could do that as well, geez he was Brave. So, I think in three recent series it was Rishabh Pant,” Cummins told Australian seamer Joshua Lalor in a show called ‘Morton Someday’.

“You just got to say well done when someone plays like that, takes the game on and it comes off. You’ve probably got 50 other players who probably wouldn’t have taken the game on like that. He’s always good to watch,” Cummins added.
