Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant is fearless – Adam Gilchrist
Adam Gilchrist, while talking to Cricket.com.au, said, I believe he attacks more than me. I played an aggressive brand of cricket at that time, but Rishabh, he looks fearless. What I like is that he sometimes puts his foot on the brakes and takes a little bit of pressure, so he is a class act.
The Australian legend further said, I would happily pay money to watch him play cricket. So it is a great quality, I think if people are accepting in that way because the results are found, then he is a winner and survivor. He is classy in everything he does. He is a good entertainer. He knows how to do a serious business in a fun way.
