Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting feels that Rishabh Pant needs to play at least 50-60 Test matches to be comparable with Adam Gilchrist.
Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting feels Rishabh Pant바카라s aggressive approach on the field is similar to how the great Adam Gilchrist played the game but comparisons between the two can only be made after the Indian plays at least 50-60 Tests.
The 24-year-old Pant has often been compared to Gilchrist, both southpaws, due to his strikingly similar batting to the Australia legend.
바카라Yeah, [they are] little bit the same. I know Rishabh's really burst onto the scene, but let's just let him play his 50-60 Test matches first before we start making comparisons to one of the all-time great wicket-keeper batters,바카라 Ponting said on 바카라The ICC Review바카라.
Gilchrist, has played 96 Tests, scoring 5570 runs at an average of 47.6. He also represented his country in 287 ODIs, amassing 9619 runs at 35.89. While Pant has represented India in 28 Tests, 23 ODIs and 41 T20Is.
바카라But if you think about their personalities 바카라 Rishabh is a lot more outward, a lot louder, a lot noisier and ultra-competitive. Gilly was ultra-competitive as well, but a lot quieter and reserved, until he got his bat in his hand and then he became exactly the same as Rishabh.바카라
While Ponting played with and captained Gilchrist, he has also worked closely with Pant, who he coached during his time in the Delhi Capitals. The World Cup-winning skipper recalled an anecdote from his playing days with Gilchrist.
바카라You couldn't try and tell him [Gilchrist] how to play. I remember having a conversation with him late in a Test match at the SCG against Pakistan,바카라 Ponting continued.
바카라He and I were batting, so we must have been four or five down, maybe just three overs left in the day, of which Danish Kaneria had to bowl two of them - and he was bowling around the wicket to Gilly into the big footmarks with a long-on and deep mid-wicket.
바카라So I went down to him and said, 'Look, let's just get through tonight, we have a beautiful batting day tomorrow, this wicket's going to be good. There's a new ball around the corner, so just get through'.
바카라Next ball, he ran down the wicket, it landed in the footmark and he hit it over long-on's head for six, and I thought, 'Well, it doesn't matter. It's no good me talking to him because he is not listening',바카라 added Ponting.
Ponting feels Pant, who has penchant for going after bowlers irrespective of the situation, will turn out the same way.
바카라Rishabh will be exactly the same. If you look at Rishabh 바카라 I am not sure how many Test hundreds he's got 바카라 but he has a few 90s in there. And he's actually got out trying to bring up his hundred with a six. That's the good and the bad, right?,바카라 he said.
