David Gower compares Rishabh Pant with legends like Garry Sobers and Brian Lara
David Gower was quoted as saying by PTI, “We’ve always joked that left-handers are the best. There’s something about left-handed batters that seems to make their style more graceful compared to right-handers. I’ve seen many legendary left-handers over the years, like Gary Sobers, and of course, Brian Lara, who was probably the best during my early days in the commentary box.”
Notably, India has given away 500 runs in an innings for the first time in more than a decade outside Asia and the West Indies. England now seems on track to post a total close to 600 in their first innings against India on Day 4 in the ongoing fourth Test in Manchester.
