Notably, Pant scored his sixth Test century on his comeback to the longest format of the game, equalling Dhoni라이브 바카라 record as the designated wicketkeeper with most hundreds for India.
The 26-year-old scored 109 from 128 deliveries, smashing 13 hours and four sixes, helping India to set a massive 515-run target to chase for Bangladesh in the fourth innings of the Chennai Test.
Pant라이브 바카라 brilliant Test numbers have sparked a debate whether he is the greatest wicketkeeper-batter for India. However, Karthik opened up on the matter and said it is unacceptable to say after featuring in just 34 Test matches for India.
“It라이브 바카라 very unacceptable to say that he라이브 바카라 played 34 Tests and he라이브 바카라 already India라이브 바카라 greatest wicketkeeper-batter. Let라이브 바카라 take time, let라이브 바카라 not jump to conclusions but definitely he라이브 바카라 on course for sure and he will finish as India라이브 바카라 greatest ever wicketkeeper,” Karthik told Cricbuzz.
“Don’t discount Dhoni라이브 바카라 credentials as a wicketkeeper as well. He not only kept brilliantly, batted and scored runs when it mattered very, very well for India but also he led India to a World Test Championship mace which is becoming number 1. So you got to give all that weightage as well when you speak about a player all round,” he added.
Dhoni has 90 Test caps for India, scoring 4876 runs, at an average of 38.09 with six hundreds and 33 fifties to his name.
While on the other hand, Pant has scored 2419 runs from 34 games at an average of 44.79 with six hundreds and 11 fifties, and is also India라이브 바카라 third most successful wicketkeeper with 134 dismissals in the longest format of the game.
