6. Rishabh Pant (WK)
The biggest positive for the Indian side in the last 3 and half months has been Rishabh Pant’s form with the willow. The wicket keeper has had a sur real run with the bat, and has played a key role in India’s series wins against both Australia and England.
In the series against Australia, Pant scored 274 runs from 5 innings at an average of 68.50. The left hander’s counter attacking 97 against Australia at Sydney helped the Indian side to salvage a sensational draw. And, his 138 ball 89* in the 4th Test at The Gabba allowed India to beat the Australian side by 3 wickets and retain the Border Gavaskar trophy.
Even in the Test series against England, Pant scored 270 runs with the willow at an average of 54 and a strike rate of 84.11. While his 58* in the second Test at Chennai helped India to beat England by 317 runs, his whirlwind 101 in the 4th Test at Ahmedabad helped Virat Kohli’s men to wallop the visitors by an innings and 25 runs. Pant will don the wicketkeeping gloves in the World Test Championship (WTC) final.
