Rishabh Pant is currently one of the best wicketkeeper-batters in world cricket. He has gone from strength to strength over the last few years, establishing himself as Team India's first-choice gloveman across formats.However, there were doubts about Pant's keeping skills when he first arrived on the international scene. The 24-year-old worked extensively on his game and the results are there for everyone to see.He has also been appointed India's vice-captain for the upcoming five-match T20I series against South Africa.Ahead of the series against the Proteas, Pant pointed out the three qualities required to be a good wicketkeeper-batter. Speaking on a podcast on SGTV, the southpaw said:"I think one quality would be, you keep yourself agile because in wicketkeeping you do different type of conditions. So if you are agile enough that's going to help a wicketkeeper. Second thing, watch the ball till the end. So, sometimes what happens as a wicketkeeper we tend to know that the ball is coming and we become relaxed. So, till the time you catch the ball, you should watch it. "He further added:"And the third one is - be disciplined and keep working on your techniques. Everyone has different techniques but at the same time if you can come closer to the base, that is going to help everyone."Sportskeeda@SportskeedaVirat Kohli has scored the most runs for India since his last in 2019 Will the wait be over this year? #ViratKohli #RishabhPant #RohitSharma #KLRahul #TeamIndia #CricketTwitter62257Virat Kohli has scored the most runs for India since his last 💯 in 2019 🔥🇮🇳Will the wait be over this year? 🙏#ViratKohli #RishabhPant #RohitSharma #KLRahul #TeamIndia #CricketTwitter https://t.co/jFcNy2WcXbThe Delhi cricketer has witnessed a meteoric rise since his match-winning knock at the Gabba Test that helped India defend the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2020-21.He has already represented India in 30 Tests, 24 ODIs and 43 T20Is, scoring 3318 international runs in total, including four centuries and 17 fifties."My father was a wicket-keeper too" - Rishabh Pant on why he became a keeperStar Sports@StarSportsIndiaRishabh made us #Believe!
