Sanjay Manjrekar believes that MS Dhoni is not ever close to Rishabh Pant and the latter is by far India's greatest Indian wicketkeeper-batsman in the history of Test cricket.
Pant showcased a batting masterclass in the first Test against the English team at Headingley in Leeds, and he slammed a terrific century.
His innings helped him become the Asian wicketkeeper-batsman with the most runs in SENA countries, as he has scored 1815 Test runs in South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia.
Also, Rishabh Pant has gone past MS Dhoni's tally of 78 sixes in Test cricket, and with 79 maximums to his name, he has become the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman with the most Test sixes. Overall, only two wicketkeeper-batsmen have hit centuries in both England and Australia - Pant and Jeff Dujon.
In Test cricket, he's already well ahead of MS - Sanjay Manjrekar
"Again, I am a believer in where you got your hundreds, and I'm a big sort of, I always look at hundreds. OK, where have we got it? He's got hundreds in England. He's got 100 in South Africa. He's got a couple of hundreds in Australia.
By far, India’s greatest ever Test batter-keeper - Sanjay Manjrekar
Sanjay Manjrekar further labelled Rishabh Pant as India's greatest gloveman in Test history and highlighted how he made the English crowd stand and applaud him. He stated:
“When he got out and raised his bat, there were a lot of English supporters who stood up and applauded that innings. That’s what we love about England — these guys come to watch good cricket. They obviously want their team to win, but when they see excellence from the opposition, you can see true appreciation for it."
