Rishabh Pant for all his flamboyance and the variety of unorthodox shots that was put on the show in IPL by him actually has pretty solid numbers backing him up in first-class cricket. It was reinforced more by his performances which included three 50+ scores in 4 innings for India A against England Lions.

He can score a 100 off a mind-numbing 48 balls (in first class) and also puts a price on his wicket. The southpaw can also exhibit dogged defence when needed in challenging conditions. He might as well reverse the equation this time and pull a Curran on Curran and Co.
