India’s star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant is in the spotlight after scoring a century in the first Test against Bangladesh. He made a strong Test comeback. Pant, who played the longest format after December 2022, scored 39 runs in the first innings and 109 in the second innings in Chennai. Fans and cricket experts are praising the 26-year-old wicketkeeper. Meanwhile, former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria has termed Pant as captaincy material. He told why Pant should be made the captain of the Indian Test team in future. He has listed some qualities.
In an interview to IANS, Kaneria said, “Pant can captain the Test team. He is captaincy material. He will prove to be a very good leader. He can lead the team because he is a wicketkeeper. He is intelligent. He is a great player of Test cricket. The way Pant plays Test cricket is amazing. His nature is great. He keeps the bowler engaged. I think he can be a good candidate for captaincy in Tests. ” Rohit is currently the captain of the Test and ODI team. Suryakumar Yadav is leading the Indian T20 team.
Let us tell you that Pant leads the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the IPL. He did not play in IPL 2023. He had to stay away from cricket for a long time due to a terrible car accident. Whether Pant will get Test captaincy or not is hidden in the womb of the future. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCC) is currently preparing Shubman Gill as a leader. Gill is the vice-captain of Team India in all three formats. Under his leadership, India won the five-match T20 series 4-1 on the Zimbabwe tour. By the way, Pant has also taken over the reins of India in five T20 matches, winning two and losing two. One match did not result in a result.
