There have been several greats-in-their-own-rights wicketkeepers during and post Gilchrist but no one has embodied the free-spiritedness of Gilchrist like Pant, or exhilarated the audience like him.

Who cares about aesthetics when you have the power and free-spiritedness like Pant? He was chaotic, yet brilliant. Chaotic brilliance sums up the crux of his batting.

No matter how many times he falls in the 90s, you know you can’t even think of calling them nervous 90s.

Avoiding a high-risk stroke because it was his undoing just two innings ago? Not in Rishabh Pant’s gospel of batting.

Before Australia 2020-21, @RishabhPant17 was known for impetuousness and brawn. In Brisbane, he added maturity and self-control.

Day 1 of the one-off and series decider Test started off with India being pinned down to 98-5 by James Anderson and Matty Potts. Rishabh Pant then took the wheel, partnered by Ravindra Jadeja. A fastest Test hundred by an Indian keeper batter brought the screaming best out of even Rahul Dravid and powered India through 300. With his wicket, and a quick Shardul Thakur dismissal that followed, England have found a way back into the game. All eyes will be on Ravindra Jadeja (83* off 163) as India look to juice most out of their premium all-rounder and a tail that can bat. England on the other hand, will once again look to the Anderson-Broad duo and Potts who picked his 16th Test wicket in his 4th match to clean up the tail early in the first session. One eye has to be on the BBC weather forecast that indicates a 64% probability of showers early today in Birmingham. Here's to the hope that no more overs are deducted from the match. With the scoreboard reading 338/7 after 73 overs, over to cricket.
Under the gloomy Edgbaston skies, Rishabh Pant made another leap into greatness. He cracked 146 off 111 balls in a staggering exhibition of counterpunching to make the first day of the series-decider undoubtedly India’s.
For much of the day, the match was under the iron clutches of England. After old-stager James Anderson and fledgling Matthew Potts had struck in unison to plunge India to 98/5, Pant and Ravindra Jadeja combined to add 222 runs to not only fish India out of danger but put them in the ascendancy. When the pair parted, India had galloped to 320 runs.
