Hayden recalls Rishabh Pant's Gabba heroics, backs player to star in Australia
India TodayFormer Australia cricketer Matthew Hayden believes that India's star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is all but likely to play a big role in the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024, while recalling the 26-year-old's Gabba heroics back in 2021. Hayden praised Rishabh Pant's attacking batting style and risk-taking tendency, hailing them as pivotal for a high-challenge series like the Border Gavaskar Trophy. Rishabh Pant's match-winning and unbeaten 89 off 138 balls knock saw India clinch history after beating Australia at Brisbane for the first time in 32 years. With stars like Pant, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and others stars speculated to be fully available for the BGT, Hyaden's words have only spiked up the excitement amongst Indian cricket fans for an action-packed series.
