“He is [Pant] “I obviously have great memories of his last tour he had from a batting perspective in Australia,” Watson said. “Those innings he played at the Gabba were something very special. So, knowing that he has overcome his challenges in recent years to be able to return as an even better player than he left, I think he is going to have a great series,” Watson said on the sidelines of the launch. of the International Masters League in Mumbai.

Rishabh Pant has an excellent track record in Australia

If we look at his previous performances, Rishabh Pant has always performed exceptionally well on Australian soil. He has scored 624 runs at a marvelous average of 62.40, including two fifties and a century, in 12 Test innings in Australia.

He has knit some iconic knocks and played a crucial role in making India champions during the 2020/21 series. His knock at the Gabba stood out as he not only instilled confidence in the group but also remained unbeaten on 89 to help India write history by winning their second consecutive series in Australia.

With India set to tour there again, they will want Pant to perform in the same manner again. The team will have some new players and the responsibility of leading the charge will fall on him.

Pant has all the skills to succeed again. His recent form has also been quite good and the team will be hoping he repeats his heroics.
