VVS Laxman understands that India now have a lot of options when it comes to wicketkeeper batsman but voces in favour of Rishabh Pant. He wants Indian cricket team to trust Pant.
Laxman on the keeping options India has
At present India has a lot of wicketkeepers available in Sanju Samson, KL Rahul, and Ishan Kishan. Former India cricketer VVS Laxman thinks they are good and it is great that India is split of choices now. “India is spoilt for choices. The way Sanju Samson has batted, kept and led Rajasthan Royals (in ongoing IPL), even though he did not have too much of experience (in captaining) a side. Then there’s Ishan Kishan. K L Rahul has done well whenever he got the gloves, and batted either top of the order or in the middle”, Laxman said.

Speaking about Rishabh Pant, Laxman further opined,“But somehow I just feel Rishabh Pant is the player whom you should pick for the wicketkeeper-batsman slot. I will definitely go for Pant. Not only that he’s really improved and impressed everyone with his keeping abilities, but as a left-handed batsman, he’s someone who can take away the game from any opposition in any situation in the middle overs.”
Rishabh Pant has been enjoying a great phase of his career. In IPL 2021, he is leading Delhi Capitals who have done well so far. Pant has also smashed a half-century in IPL 2021. On the other hand, Sanju Samson is leading Rajasthan Royals currently and hit a fantastic century against Punjab Kings. The Kings are led by KL Rahul who is already the best T20 bat of India at present, arguably. Ishan Kishan is however yet to play a big knock in this year’s league thus far. He has been a mainstay of Mumbai Indians over last few years.
