Rahul Dravid commends Rishabh Pant's heroic Gabba innings that led India to a historic win.

As the Border-Gavaskar Trophy continues, cricket fans are eagerly anticipating the second Test match in Adelaide, which features the thrilling prospect of a Pink Ball Test. Indian cricket legend and former head coach, Rahul Dravid, shared his reflections on various topics, including the remarkable rise of Rishabh Pant. Pant's heroic 89-run innings at the Gabba helped India chase down a challenging target of 328, securing a historic victory, according to Star Sports.

The Gabba, traditionally seen as an impenetrable fortress for Australia, posed a significant challenge for opposing teams. However, Pant's extraordinary performance shifted the momentum in India's favor, establishing him as one of the most exciting talents in international cricket. Having closely observed Pant's evolution, Dravid expressed deep admiration for the wicketkeeper-batter's fearless approach.

Reflecting on the match, Dravid said, "I think Rishabh's performance was incredible. Watching Rishabh chase down 89 to win that Test match at the Gabba under immense pressure with a depleted side was truly sensational. What a special cricketer he's become, adapting to Test cricket like a duck to water. It's phenomenal to think how he's filled the gap after Dhoni's departure. His performances in Test cricket have been absolutely sensational," Dravid told Star Sports.

Pant's combination of fearlessness and his ability to excel in pressure situations has made him one of the most sought-after players worldwide. Dravid's commendation highlights not only Pant's skills but also his capability to manage the high-pressure landscape of international cricket. As India prepares for another challenge in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Pant's potential to deliver more match-winning performances remains a captivating storyline. (ANI)
