Pant has all the skills leveling with Tendulkar but match awareness of Arshdeep

[Chakdephatte]

Just in last test he scored fifties in both innings at strike rates above 100. He was our shining light in 3-0 loss against NZ. 

 

Kuch bhi thread!

Pant has been our best bat over the last 4-5 years.

and it has come with same 'Arshdeep awareness' approach

The only question with Pant is whether he should be batting at #5 ?

 

I think he should bat lower down at #7 where he can capitalise on an older ball and weary bowlers .

 

There's no point trying to make him into an SRT because that's not his role.

The reason he is batting at #5 currently is simply because he is currently the most consistent batsman in a shaky lineup. As was clear in the NZ series and also the first innings here, he does a pretty good job of  stabilizing the innings and also keep the scoreboard ticking once a shaky top order gives way under pressure. In a properly functioning batting lineup with others pulling their weight, he can come lower.

and Pant plays attacking cricket according to situation. Just won't be a Pujara or even Rahane type ever
