Matthew Hayden pointed out that India’s win at the Gabba was impressive because it happened without Virat Kohli and with a second-string bowling attack
Matthew Hayden believes Rishabh Pant will be a key player for India in their five-Test series in Australia, thanks to his strong skills and drive to win.
The series starts on November 22 in Perth.
Hayden said at the ‘CEAT Cricket Rating Awards,’ “Rishabh Pant has great skills and a strong will to win. He was a standout player last time in Australia, and fans loved his exciting style.”
He also noted, “It was exciting to watch. Plus, Virat Kohli and others will be keen to make their mark. I’m looking forward to seeing how India handles the conditions in Australia.”
Rishabh Pant, who came back strong after a serious accident in 2022, was a top performer for India on their 2020-21 tour. He scored 97 and 89 not out in that important series.
