Rishabh Pant Appreciation Society

[Molehill]

High impacts knocks? His team was effectively 260-3 when he came to the wicket.

On this basis, it's probably only Bradman ahead of Padikkal as best Number 3 ever.

Well you didn't understand the point. His post was meant to demean specialist wicket keepers like he usually does instead of genuine praise for Pant.

The real highlight of today was that Pant has become the quickest player to hit 100 sixes in test cricket.

I chose to ignore that bit of drivel and assess the other bit.

He is going to have to tell us where the wicketkeeper touched him as a youngling.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Insane how he continues to get down for those crazy sweeps after coming back from the accident. Had a busted knee too. Whoever handled his rehab and Pant himself for sticking to it should take a bow.

 

[Shri]

he also used to be a gymnast on the side while playing ctricket as a kid well into his late teens so his tendons/ligaments etc were probably in top shape that would have helped recovery

also his right ankle was ****ed in the accident, along with all knee ligaments

He suffered a severe right knee dislocation, ruptured all three major ligaments (ACL, PCL, and LCL), and sustained significant facial cuts, a damaged right wrist and ankle, and extensive abrasions and skin loss across his back.

given how he plays i think his career would have been over if his left leg got all this trauma

 

[kyear2]

He keeps on playing these impact knocks time and time again.
He has already surpassed all keeper batsman except Gilchrist and Ames.

Remember, specialist wicketkeepers are not cricketers

Christ dude.

On Tuesday, Pant hit his 100th six in Test cricket, during the course of a typically Pantian innings against Sri Lanka in Galle. It was typically Pantian for the obvious reason that it was breezy and entertaining and full of inventive shots that went to unexpected parts of the ground. It was also typically Pantian because he scored 66 off 69 balls while the rest of India's batters and extras made 46 for 6 in 99 balls from the time he came to the crease.

 

[DrWolverine]

Wicker keepers with 2500+ runs.

True.
No Sachin. No Smith. No Sobers. No Viv.
Not even that statpadder Bradman.

Pants keeping has improved. People have this agenda that he is bad keeper because he failed in england. He has done well indian turners as well as Australian and south African bouncy tracks

Can we give Flower some appreciation here as well. Ridiculous numbers, particularly given his team's relative performance.

That is the only way they can justify the likes of Healy, Russell, Bari, Dujon etc.
