dilliboy Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Looks fit and lean which is awesome tbh...his batting form will come with time but getting match fit was the key and he looked sharp. Let's hope he plays the full tournament injury and pain free express bowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pant is good enough to play as a specialist batsman especially in tests. definitely a possibility.he needs some form in domestic cricket before the aussie tests.

Perhaps wtc final more likely For odi wcup..I hvnt checked any stats but I feel the slow pitch and cutters could hv affected him too ofc his agression may have changed everything but I wud still say 50-50 for odi wcup Kron and Suhaan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vijy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 stamina needs to be assessed, especially for tests. and power for ODIs and T20s. early signs are good so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was our biggest matchwinner in Tests, selectors should prioritise that for him playing T20Is and ODI's sporadically. Jaiswal, Pant & Jurel in Tests is going to be a formidable batting lineup. He was never a natural T20 batsman. More fit for tests and ODIs as he needs some time to get going. But would be great if he can make a comeback to test team. His fitness looks good, didnt think he would recover so quickly but glad he did. What sets Pant apart from others is his temperament and clutch ability and match winning ability. These qualities cant be taught and rare among sportsmen and should be valued more than just numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singhvivek141 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Pant has lost his hitting capability. If you see his stats then Pant from 2017 to 2019 in IPL was a different beast, SR was insanely high. He has slowed down from 2020 onwards. Edited March 29 by singhvivek141 nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captaincy to any Indian makes him drool over Dhoni and play and act like him When Dhoni himself was way overrated in t20s and Odis too Basic instincts get curbed nevada and singhvivek141 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemsip Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Life threatening injury plus no cricket at all since 2022 and straight into the ipl circus as captain of an underperforming franchise...seems to be an unrealistic load for a 26 year old to carry. He is playing much better than expected all things considered but perhaps they should take some pressure off and play him purely as a keeper/batter.

I think he is batting and keeping better than I expected given he could barely walk this time last year. He is struggling to get the power into his big shots but that has to be put into perspective given the only cricket of any sort he has had since he got injured is the 2 games in this IPL. He looks well on track to play in the Australia test series which should be his main target now. Gollum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Don't judge Pant here. This is just warm up. Hope he is fit for NZ series, don't want him to go to Australia without red ball fitness. Mosher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
