Pant Is Unique In The Way He Bats And Scores Runs, Says Denesh Ramdin
Pant, who was an unused member in the Indian team winning 2025 Champions Trophy, will be seen in action as Lucknow Super Giants’ skipper in IPL 2025 starting from March 22. "Obviously, Rishabh Pant is one—he's unique in the way he bats and scores runs. There's a young guy from Australia, Josh Inglis—he did well in the Champions Trophy. Tom Banton is up there as well. There are many young keepers coming through.
“Back in the day, wicketkeepers were primarily just keepers, but now cricket has evolved. The role of the keeper-batsman has expanded, starting with players like Adam Gilchrist, who opened the batting and excelled. Others like Quinton de Kock, Brendon McCullum, and of course, the exceptional Mahendra Singh Dhoni, have been fantastic in shaping the modern wicketkeeper's role," said Ramdin ahead of the IML semi-final between Sri Lanka Masters and West Indies Masters in Raipur.
