Rishabh Pant has so far scored 1920 runs in 30 matches

Irfan Pathan said on Star Sports that Pant is just 24 years old and he has improved a lot in his game. You will see him playing international cricket for the next 10 years. And he will become the highest run-scorer for India in Test cricket. I have no doubt about this. Let us tell you that Dhoni played 90 matches for India. As a Test captain and in this he scored 4876 runs. At the same time, 24-year-old Rishabh Pant has so far scored 1920 runs in 30 matches. Looking at this, it seems that perhaps Pathan’s prediction may come true. At the same time, Adam Gilchrist is at number one in the world in terms of scoring the most runs as a wicketkeeper in Test cricket.
