Rishabh Pant became the hero overnight after playing the match-winning knock of 89* at Gabba against Australia. Indian young wicket-keeper get appraised for his unique batting style from all around the world. He played many crucial knocks in Border-Gavaskar Trophy and helped his team to retain the trophy by 2-1.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh, West Indies batsman Jermaine Blackwood has applauded Rishabh Pant and said he has a similar batting style to Indian young wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant. Blackwood also believes that if Rishabh Pant stays in the crease no one needs to worry about who is going to win, because he is a match-winner.<\/p>\n
Blackwood has been West Indies\u2019 top-scorer in recent Test series against England and New Zealand and he wants to carry his form in the upcoming series.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was following the series between India and Australia. During the fourth inning with an hour left, I was saying to myself that once Rishabh Pant is there, you\u2019re going to win. I think we have the same batting style. He looked to score and a player who puts bowler under pressure. That\u2019s the same way I bat. I was just rooting for him because I know he was under a little bit of pressure. He is a very cool guy,\u201d ESPNCricinfo quoted Blackwood as saying.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I have been out of the West Indies team for almost three years. On the sidelines, I did some work on my mental space. I trained twice a day and hit the gym every day. I put in a lot of hard work to be as fir as possible. I tried to come back as strong as possible. You can see the results. I am better at my shot selection, I am starting to understand my game very well, and I want to continue to do the same going forward,\u201d said Blackwood.<\/p>\n
