\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\nHowever, Kaif points out that there are different levels of ball play in the limited overs format and Test cricket. If someone is judged based on a completely different format, it may lead to a wrong decision. <\/p>\n
Kaif personally believes that there is no bigger match-winner than Rishabh Pant in the longest format of cricket due to his aggressive and unpredictable batting tendencies.<\/p>\n
Pant did nothing wrong: Mohammad Kaif<\/h2>\n
“Rishabh Pant has done nothing wrong. Test matches, red-ball cricket and white-ball cricket are completely different formats. You can judge someone on the basis of IPL – thinking, ‘Yes, he is not doing a good job as a captain, his team is losing, and he is not scoring runs himself’ – I personally believe that, even today.” <\/p>\n
“There is no bigger match-winner with the bat in Test match cricket than Rishabh Pant. I am talking specifically about the Test match format here. It is easy for people to overlook this difference and that creates problems,” Mohammad Kaif said on Geostar.<\/p>\n
After making his debut in the format in 2018, the Delhi-born player has played 49 matches in Tests so far, and has scored 3476 runs at a batting average of 42.91, including a highest innings of 159 not out. In the last year, he played 7 Tests, 4 against England, a few against South Africa and one against Australia. <\/p>\n
Pant was one of the mainstays of the series against the Australia and England national cricket teams. Against England at Leeds, the middle-order batsman recorded two centuries in both innings of a Test match. He also achieved three fifty-plus innings during India’s tour of England in 2025.<\/p>\n
