this guy i special.....i was pleasantly surprised when i saw him in duleep trophy....he reminds me of Misbah....very cool / calm and seems to have lots of time....

He is predominately a back foot player and very rare to find in sub-continent conditions...... i am sure, he will be successful in away tours

 

But he is 30 year old and he is not under selector radar....

In the Duleep trophy. he was having distinct problems against bouncers and rising short deliveries by the faster bowlers.

 

Looked superb against spinners.

sheldon could be ideal no 6 batsman in tests...good backfoot technique against fast bowler (short ball weakness though)
and serious striker of spinners
he could blunt the new ball and score quickly and bat with tailenders also
prospect wise I see better returns from him than nair, bawne, iyer, vihari, hooda etc.
a rohit like player with better temperament and consistency could be ideal no 6.
remember hussey was also 30 yr old at the time of his debue

Rishab pant scores 75, he is in some dream form . This shud be given weightage as it has come against the likes of Pankaj singh, aniket.C, Lomror, chahar.

 

75(59) 9-4s and 3-6s

[rkt.india]

Pant scores 75 of 59 balls at Wayanad, not an easy track for batting, no other batsman yet reached 50 for Delhi. 

[Unleashed]

At this rate, i won't be surprised if he is called up for the last test match in case we have already won the series. Scoring freely on a pitch on which Gambhir and Dhawan failed shows some level of talent.

This guy is really turning it on.....

 

He demands a place in ODI team just as a pure batsmen.....

 

I hope test berth is not given so early.......he should have atleast couple of seasons before given a shot...

Rajasthan was dismissed for 238 on the same track where Pant scores 75 off 59 balls.

Mumbai used 10 bowlers in the first innings. Great going

 

Also this Kauthankar from Goa makes 225 out of 413. That too batting at 5 wit

He should be in the Test Team.

You are right, also if I recall correctly the bowlers involved were not particularly fast, he'll find it even more difficult at the international level.

lahli game over inside 2 days....ateet seth took 10-fer

[Texan]

Pant top scores yet again. Doesn't look like there is a domestic bowler that will trouble him. He must be brought into the India team now. 

[Texan]

Strike when the iron is hot. 

[Cricketics]

Pant, proving why he needs to be involved in the Indian team set up or at least needs to be part of India A. I would like to see him go with India A next time. Even if they want to pick Sanju Samson as keeper, Pant can be picked just as a batsman. We need to ensure he is playing the important games . 

 

He should be part of the the teams which play against Australia during warm ups. 

[fineleg]

Pant should be keeper for India-A, needs keeping experience to be built also.

last year shreyas Iyer was also looking invincible but look what happened in ipl and A-tour down under...
wait for pant guys, have patience

[Laaloo]

Pant has to be in the t20 squad. I'm sick and tired of Dhoni losing the games for us. He needs to go

I want to see Pant batting in a FC match.

 

Shreyas Iyer has problems with both rising deliveries and off-stump deliveries...especially the former.

 

I want to see how Pant tackles  these.

 

The fact that Pant  tackled Pankaj Singh on a juicy track sort of gives hope that his off-stump game is ok...because Pankaj bowls very immaculate line off-stump deliveries that swing away at decent pace.

 

Both Pankaj and Aniket are very tall and get bounce...so there is reason for hope on the bounce-front too.

Pankaj Singh has a very good outswing and he doesn’t have a pronounced inswing as his variation is basically a scrambled seam delivery which goes with the angle. This is for right handers so for Left handers like Pant it would be just inswing deliveries that he would bowl.

 

It is a shame that we are unable to see Pant batting in Ranjis this year. It would have been great to see his technique to judge International potential. I am still sceptical regarding him for longer format as he has a high percentage of aerial boundaries which may not work in International cricket. Almost all big hitters have average test careers because there is high percentage of risk in getting out to aerial shots. Even the big hitting Sehwag would hit most shots along the ground to pacers.

 

Let’s hope we can see him soon in a telecasted match.
