Rishabh Pant's impressive return to the international cricket scene has earned him accolades from Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, who described Pant as a 'ripping bloke' and lamented that he didn't play for Australia. Pant marked his readiness for Test cricket with a century against Bangladesh in Chennai, showcasing his recovery from a devastating car accident in 2022.
Marsh expressed his admiration for Pant's relentless positivity, competitiveness, and passion for winning. 'He's a positive guy, still really young, and he loves winning. He's highly competitive for someone who has the persona of being relaxed and always laughing and smiling,' Marsh told Star Sports.
Australian opener Travis Head and pacer Josh Hazlewood have also acknowledged Pant's capabilities, with Hazlewood particularly noting Indian skipper Rohit Sharma's resilience against Australian bowlers. As the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series approaches, India's lineup, strengthened by Pant and Sharma, is expected to pose significant challenges.
