Legendary former India wicketkeeper Syed Kirmani considers Rishabh Pant a "gifted bundle of talent" as a batsman but he feels the youngster is still in the "cradle" as far as his glove-work is concerned. The 23-year-old Pant was one of the architects of India`s historic Test series win in Australia last month with stellar performances with the bat but he has often been criticised for his shoddy work behind the stumps.
"Rishabh Pant is a gifted bundle of talent, a gifted natural stroke player. But he is in the cradle of wicket-keeping, he has to learn a lot. He has to learn when to strike also, which he did in Australia," the 71-year-old Kirmani told reporters here. The former India wicket-keeper, who is the brand ambassador of `Widex India`, was in the city to inaugurate a `Sound Centre for Hearing Care`.
