Ashwin lauds this Indian youngster's potential to score century in every game

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: Indian spin legend R Ashwin feels Rishabh Pant will score a century in every game if the maverick India wicketkeeper-batter is able to curb his extravagance and impetuosity as he has got "one of the best defences" in world cricket. Hailing Pant's ability to singlehandedly turn a match on its head, Ashwin said a lot of his shots are high-risk, something that is not allowing him to realise his full potential. Pant scored the second-fastest Test fifty by an Indian during the fifth match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia in Sydney recently, after a hard-fought 40 in the first innings of the same game. Speaking about Pant's defensive technique, Ashwin said he is one of the best in that department and appeared to rate the Indian alongside Joe Root and Steve Smith as the best batters in the last seven years, when batting has become "significantly difficult and averages have decreased."
