"After MS Dhoni Left...": Rahul Dravid Pays Rich Compliment To Rishabh Pant

As the Border-Gavaskar Trophy progresses, anticipation is building for the second Test match at Adelaide, particularly with the thrilling prospect of the Pink Ball Test. Indian cricket legend and former head coach, Rahul Dravid reflected on a range of topics including rising star Rishabh Pant's heroic 89-run innings at the Gabba, a knock that helped India chase down a daunting target of 328 and secure a historic victory, according to Star Sports. The Gabba, long considered Australia's fortress, had been a daunting ground for many teams. However, Pant's remarkable performance turned the tide in India's favour, cementing his place as one of the most exciting talents in world cricket.

Rishabh Pant Taken To Test Cricket Like A Duck To Water: Rahul Dravid

Former India head coach Rahul Dravid, while sharing his thoughts on Rishabh Pant's match-winning 89 not out against Australia at the Gabba during the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, has said that the wicketkeeper batter has "taken to Test cricket like a duck to water" and called his performance in the red-ball format "sensational." Pant's heroic innings came on the final day of the fourth and final Test, with India chasing a daunting target of 328. His counterattacking style not only secured a historic 3-wicket victory but also ended Australia's 32-year unbeaten streak at the Gabba, sealing the series 2-1 for India.

Former Indian head coach Rahul Dravid said that star India Virat Kohli could have a big series against Australia during the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and getting a century at the start of the series is nice for him. Virat broke his Test century drought of over 500 days and showcased his class in his favourite Australian conditions, slamming a return-to-form century against the Aussies at Perth's Optus Stadium, tiring out the Aussies mentally and physically to set the tone for a 295-run win.

Out-of-favour India batter Prithvi Shaw is having a tough time in cricket. He could not find any takers at the IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The 2018 U-19 World Cup winning captain was seen as the next big thing in Indian cricket, but his downfall in the past few years has taken him out of consideration for the Indian cricket team. What has become worse is the fact that Shaw will not be seen playing in IPL in the upcoming season too. Twice his name came up at the auction and despite a base price of Rs 75 lakh, not one paddle went up for him.
