Former India captain and BCCI president Sourav Ganguly predicted on Friday that Rishabh Pant will be an all-time great player in all formats for years to come after the young wicket-keeper hitter broke a hundred games potentially. winners in the fourth and final test against England.

Pant hit 101 of 118 balls for his third Test Hundred, helping India take a sizable lead in the first inning after the hosts appeared to struggle with 146 of six in response to England’s 205.

“How good is he? Unbelievable … what a blow under pressure … not the first time and it won’t be the last time … it will be an all-time great in all formats for years to come. Keep hitting in this aggressive way. that’s why he will be the winner of the match and special, ”Ganguly wrote on Twitter.

Pant, who recently lost his place at the eleven in all three formats, has made a stellar comeback that began with the test series in Australia, where his strikes formed the cornerstone of India’s historic triumph.

He is also back in the Indian white ball team thanks to his strong performances in Australia and in the ongoing series against England.

On Friday, he came in when India’s hitters had choked on runs on a difficult track.

The 23-year-old showed tremendous sense of the game to bide his time before launching a frazzled attack on the cleaners.

He rounded out his hundred with a bold six from Dom Bess, reminiscent of the fearless approach that was once the hallmark of Virender Sehwag’s hitting.
