Prominent cricket analyst Harsha Bhogle recently emphasized the distinctive attributes of Indian player Rishabh Pant in a tweet, claiming that certain players cannot be adequately quantified or described by their numbers. Some athletes are not quantifiable or characterized by their stats. Among them is #RishabhPant,” Bhogle wrote. His assertion challenges both observers and supporters to think about a player’s influence on the game in terms of more than just statistics.

Harsha Bhogle praised him on X: “Some players can neither be measured nor defined by their numbers. #Rishabh Pant is one of them. Don’t worry about how many 100s he has scored or how many he has missed. Measure him by the impact he has on the game”
India was still 212 runs down when the dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman arrived on the Chinnaswamy field on Saturday.The fans were treated to a feast as Pant hit a flurry of boundaries against the Kiwi bowlers. His 99, which he scored at a strike rate of 80.49, was classic Pant and just one run away from another unforgettable century. With 12 fours and four sixes, his knock was more than just runs scored.
