'India have done well without him...': Hussain on 'blockbuster' Rishabh Pant's future after recovery from injury

Hindustan Times  

Rishabh Pant's return is one of several things that fans are looking forward to in the 2024 season of the Indian Premier League. I travelled with Ricky in the summer in the Ashes, and Ricky was texting him ‘how's the progress coming along’, and he is a box office cricketer," said Hussain. ‘India lucky to have Rahul and Pant’ England have been at the receiving end of some of Pant's best innings, particularly in Test cricket, in which he has scored 781 runs in 12 innings against them with three centuries and four half-centuries. KL Rahul has been India's primary wicketkeeper in Pant's absence but despite his exceptional performances, the latter is expected to be among the first names in the team sheet whenever he is available for selection. Pant has been especially crucial to India's cause in Test cricket, scoring 2271 runs in 33 matches at an average of 43.67 with five centuries and 11 half-centuries.
