WTC Final: Rishabh Pant, an Indian stumper-batter, won’t be playing in the forthcoming World Test Championship final against Australia, according to former Australia international Matthew Hayden. Notably, the 25-year-old was injured numerous times in a terrible accident last year. His return date has not yet been set, and he is still healing.
Hayden remarked that Pant’s absence at the time is one of the major losses for Indian cricket. The southpaw is one of the players that helped India win the 2020–21 Border–Gavaskar Trophy on Australian soil and has an excellent record versus Australia in the longest version of the game.
Ishan Kishan should be taken into consideration by the team management for the WTC final, according to Hayden, since the batsman can play an aggressive style of cricket similar to Pant. He thinks Kishan can give the team’s batting lineup some swagger, and that his dynamic style can help them capture their first ICC championship in over a decade.
“Rishabh Pant is now one of Indian cricket’s major losses. Ishan Kishan, a more energetic wicketkeeper-batsman, adds that bit of swagger to the batting lineup and in the fielding unit as well,” Hayden was cited as saying by Telegraph online. “If I were an Indian selector, I would definitely choose him.”
For the following 15 years, Shubman Gill will be prominent: Hayden
Shubman Gill had a fantastic season as a batsman for both team India and the just-completed Indian Premier League. In praising him for his accomplishments, Hayden said that the young man can rule cricket for the next 15 years.
For the following 15 years, Shubman Gill will be prominently featured. A strong Test cricketer is built on rather straightforward principles. Additionally, Shubman, like KL Rahul before him, plays fantastically overall. He will thus continue to be a superstar in all forms of cricket, according to him.
“One of Shubman’s major advantages is that he’s excellent from the backfoot, as he demonstrated while he was touring Australia. Therefore, square of wicket play is superb. And that’ll put him in good stead even when facing the world’s finest Test teams,” Hayden continued.
