Throughout his cricketing career, Rishabh Pant has demonstrated an aggressive batting style, frequently adopting a high-risk approach to his game. While he has experienced numerous successes, he has also encountered his fair share of setbacks. This prompted a question from renowned content creator Tanmay Bhat, who asked Pant in his video if he ever considers playing it safe. Displaying his sharp wit, Pant delivered a clever response to the query.

“Abhi Bazball dekh rahe ho toh maza aa rha hai. Jab mein pehle kar rha tha toh acha nai lag rha tha kya?'' (When you see Bazball you enjoy it, but when I did it before did you not like it or what?).

The debate over whether Bazball is the genuine thing or not keeps on raging. The reality is that, following their victory in the first Test of the five-match series against the Indians in early 2024, England found it difficult to maintain control, with certain scenarios calling for a more cautious approach to their batting as they went onto lose the series 4-1.

England have undoubtedly improved and is now considered one of the stronger Test teams at present. The key will be whether Ben Stokes and his squad can secure significant accomplishments with this style of play.

Speaking of Rishabh Pant, he played a crucial role in India’s Test series victories during their last two tours of Australia. He smashed a century on his debut tour down under and followed it up with two outstanding innings on the next tour, including a match-winning 89 at the Gabba that sealed the series win for India.

The Delhi Capitals man has showcased his batting brilliance not just in Australia but globally. The wicketkeeper-batter has scored Test centuries in both England and South Africa as well. He stands as the first Indian keeper to achieve centuries in all three countries: Australia, England, and South Africa.

Though Pant’s achievements in Test cricket are undeniable, he has yet to meet expectations in limited-overs formats. The wicketkeeper-batter has shown flashes of brilliance, but his performances in ODIs and T20Is have lacked consistency, leading to criticism from various quarters.
