Glad to see him keep well, not as perfect as Saha but very good for a 20 year old kid. Door permanently shut on the faces of Pappu and Karthik. Coming to ODIs/T20s it has become impossible now to justify Dadu's continuous selection. Must be given marching orders but we have a napunsak naukar as our Chief Selector. Selection committee role is as important as Captain/Coach especially in a country like India with such a huge pool of players. Pehle MSK ko laath maar ke bahar nikalo aur kisi aukaat waleh ko lao.

Pant just needs to improve his foot movement behind the stumps against pacersrest he looked good,when anticipating the ball a keeper needs to quickly take a step or two towards the ball if it's beyond your normal reach .

Will see later how he keeps against ash 

I think he did well in that regard. Pope's catch was an example.

I am glad he did better as a wicket keeper than a batsman on debut. That will put less pressure on him in the coming matches.

 

If we can debut a pure batsman ( prithvi or mayank )and a bowler ( siraj)in the last two test.....then no matter the result of the series, I will consider this a successful fruitful series.

Took him some time to adjust to swing and seem but then his footwork kept getting better and he was moving well. This is what helps when you keep to the top bowlers in the world in the swinging conditions, you learn and keep getting better. He just kept getting better over after the over, and as he started taking catches, he just started feeling more comfortable and felt he belonged here. He started chatting more to the slip fielders, cheering up bowlers etc which showed how confident he was then. Spending time behind the stumps helps greatly. Pant is just going to get better with each innings.

Agree...

 

Certain minor things which he can improve...his trigger movement is always towards left....because of this he missed a tough chance of ROOT...
