    What's the story

    Adam Gilchrist, the legendary Australian wicketkeeper-batter, has commended Rishabh Pant for his aggressive approach to Test cricket.

    He stated that Pant is even more attacking than he was during his career.

    This statement comes as Pant made a return to India's Test team in the ongoing match against Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

    Despite an early loss of three wickets, Pant managed to score 39 off 52 balls and stabilize India's first innings.

    Praise

    Gilchrist hails Pant as 'class act'

    Gilchrist praised Pant's ability to handle pressure, describing him as a "class act."

    He told Cricket.com, "I reckon he attacks a bit more than I did. I played an aggressive brand at that time, but Rishabh, he looks fearless."

    The Australian legend also admired Pant's occasional restraint on the field and his capacity to absorb tension during high-pressure situations.

    Crowd pleaser

    Pant's entertaining style earns Gilchrist's admiration

    Gilchrist also praised Pant for his ability to entertain Test cricket audiences.

    He stated that he would gladly pay to watch Pant play, highlighting his entertaining style and crowd appeal.

    "He is, what you say, bums on seats and people pay money well and truly. I would happily pay money to watch him play cricket," Gilchrist said.

    Career achievements

    Pant's impressive career stats and future prospects

    Pant has an impressive career record, with over 2,320 runs from 34 matches at an average of 43-plus and a strike rate of over 73.

    He has scored five hundreds and 12 fifties so far in his career.

    The left-handed batter made centuries on his first tours of England, Australia, and South Africa.

    As India prepare for another tour down under later this year, Pant's aggressive batting style will be crucial for the team's success.
