Ind vs Eng: ‘Some of his shots were probably not …’ – Greg Chappell sent his honest response to Rishabh Pants. Cricket news
Former India coach and Australian cricketer Greg Chappell praised Rishabh pants after hundreds of wicketkeeper-better’s record-setting twin in Headingley, called a game-chainer and compared his impact for Australian great Adam Gilchrist. Pants, now India’s test vice-captain, became only the second wicketkeeper-boy in history after Zimbabwe’s Andy Flower, who scored in a century each innings of a Test match. His explosive batting was one of the standout performances in the series opener in the batting headingley, even though India fell five wickets for the hosts on a 5 -day day. “Its beauty (batting of pants) is that he receives his run at a very fast rate, which gives you time to win a cricket match. It was an unprecedented performance; Chappell said at an event in Mumbai, “Some shots that he played was probably not in the MCC coaching manual, when I last saw it. Chapel believes that the pants are revolutionizing the test batting with a fearless approach that best uses modern bats and 27 -year -old’s own natural nature.
He said, “He is strengthening the game as a batsman. You know, modern technology, bats are very different. You can play shots that were not possible with old bats. But the man, he is exciting to see,” he said. The capacity of the bowlers to guess the bowlers also impressed the chapel. “You never know what to expect from the first ball at any stage. He is likely to jump for pacers, or he will play a falling ramp shot. You never know what is expected, so it maintains the opposition on their toes,” he explained.

Do you believe that Rishabh Pant is bringing a revolution in Test cricket with his batting style?
Recalling his early raids of the left hand, Chapel said, “When I first saw him, he was a different type of player, but he reminded me of Adam Gilchrist.” Hundreds of pants also reached the best seventh place of career in the ICC Test rankings for the batsmen. India will see the best use of its explosive form in the second Test set starting on 2 July. A win will bring the level of visitors to the series.
