Rishabh Pant can give you 10 years in Test cricket, Wriddhiman Saha cannot: Former selector Sarandeep Singh

Former India selector Sarandeep Singh lauded Rishabh Pant for working on fitness issues and improving his batting technique to make a stunning comeback in international cricket.

Former India cricketer and selector Sarandeep Singh gave his opinion on the never-ending debate on India's first-choice keeper in Tests, saying Rishabh Pant can give India 10 years but the same cannot be said about Wriddhiman Saha. Sarandeep Singh lauded Pant for improving his shot-selection and wicketkeeping skills to become India’s first-choice keeper, especially in Test cricket. Notably, Pant was dropped from India's playing XI as the management opted to go with the experience of Saha in the Adelaide pink ball Test against Australia. However, Pant returned for the Boxing Day Test and since then he has been in incredible form, having gone on to do well against Australia and England. Pant has already played two special, unforgettable knocks in Test cricket while also translating his heroics in 50-over cricket as he belted consecutive 70+ scores against England. In the ODI series against England, Pant scored 155 runs in two innings at a strike-rate of 152. He hit a quick-fire 77 off 40 balls in the second match and followed it up with a 78 off 62 in the series-decider.
