Aakash Chopra made this comparison while talking about the current position of Rishabh Pant in the Indian T20I team regarding the selection for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.
Instead of Pant, the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee included Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma as the two wicketkeeper-batsmen in the 15-man squad and Dhruv Jurel as back-up.
However, even if Rishabh Pant was fit, he was not a certainty in the India squad for the Asia Cup 2025, as the chief selector Ajit Agarkar, while speaking at the press conference, said that no player missed out on selection because of injury.
He was India's third-highest run-scorer in the T20 World Cup - Aakash Chopra
"When Rishabh Pant bats at Nos. 1 to 3, he has scored his runs at a strike rate of 156 and has an average of 34, which is good. However, we will not talk about the top three. When you look at Nos. 4 to 7, he has a strike rate of 140 and an average of 30. It's still okay."
Notably, Rishabh Pant had a poor outing in IPL 2025 for LSG as he scored just 269 runs at an average of 24.45 and a strike rate of 133.16.
Ishan Kishan, a very good top-order batter - Aakash Chopra
"Ishan Kishan, a very good top-order batter. I am taking Ishan Kishan's name because it should be taken. Sometimes we forget names. At Nos. 1 to 3, he has a strike rate of 135 and an average of 30. Ishan Kishan hasn't played a lot from Nos. 4 to 7 because he is more of a guy who uses the pace of the ball well.
