Modern era ATGs?

Pant has a great chance as well. Has already played gun knocks in 4 continents (Aus, Ind, SA and Eng). Improved a lot as a keeper too. Need to keep doing this for another 5-6 years though.

Pant already has a legit claim to be India’s greatest WK bat. Which just shows how **** our keepers have been over the years but you get my point
Nah. Engineer and Dhoni isn't meek competition. Budhi Kunderan has similar stats to Waite and Knott, dunno how good a keeper he was. The era of the keeper bat isn't particularly long and most teams have 2-3 blokes who were great WKBs.

Yeah I don't think it's a stretch to pick pant ahead of Dhoni/engineer even right now. I'd argue he doesn't really need the longevity in this comparison when he's done so much better overseas than the competition. He's had a bigger impact in these 3 years than those guys did in their careers as batsmen.

I would still like for him to play 50 games before including him in such lists of AT Indian xi.

For being considered atg, need to do it for 5 years.

SA, India and England aren’t continents though… ?

Rabada is very good but a notch below Cummins and Bumrah.
Happy you corrected yourself. Rabada is on the same plane as Cummins and Bumrah. I was skeptical about his record outside RSA but he's well on his way to fixing that.
