Former India cricketer Dinesh Karthik believes terming Rishabh Pant as India바카라s greatest Test wicket-keeper is a disservice to MS Dhoni바카라s legacy. (More Cricket News)
Notably, Pant scored his sixth Test century on his comeback to the longest format of the game, equalling Dhoni바카라s record as the designated wicketkeeper with most hundreds for India.
The 26-year-old scored 109 from 128 deliveries, smashing 13 hours and four sixes, helping India to set a massive 515-run target to chase for Bangladesh in the fourth innings of the Chennai Test.
Pant바카라s brilliant Test numbers have sparked a debate whether he is the greatest wicketkeeper-batter for India. However, Karthik opened up on the matter and said it is unacceptable to say after featuring in just 34 Test matches for India.
바카라It바카라s very unacceptable to say that he바카라s played 34 Tests and he바카라s already India바카라s greatest wicketkeeper-batter. Let바카라s take time, let바카라s not jump to conclusions but definitely he바카라s on course for sure and he will finish as India바카라s greatest ever wicketkeeper,바카라 Karthik told Cricbuzz.
바카라Don바카라t discount Dhoni바카라s credentials as a wicketkeeper as well. He not only kept brilliantly, batted and scored runs when it mattered very, very well for India but also he led India to a World Test Championship mace which is becoming number 1. So you got to give all that weightage as well when you speak about a player all round,바카라 he added.
Dhoni has 90 Test caps for India, scoring 4876 runs, at an average of 38.09 with six hundreds and 33 fifties to his name.
While on the other hand, Pant has scored 2419 runs from 34 games at an average of 44.79 with six hundreds and 11 fifties, and is also India바카라s third most successful wicketkeeper with 134 dismissals in the longest format of the game.
