<p>Indian spin legend R Ashwin feels <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/photo/champions-trophy-2025-who-among-sanju-samson-kl-rahul-rishabh-pant-would-make-it-to-indian-squad-103703/1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Rishabh Pant</strong></a> will score a century in every game if the maverick India wicketkeeper-batter is able to curb his extravagance and impetuosity as he has got &ldquo;one of the best defences&rdquo; in world cricket.</p>
<p>Hailing Pant&rsquo;s ability to singlehandedly turn a match on its head, Ashwin said a lot of his shots are high-risk, something that is not allowing him to realise his full potential.</p>

<p>Pant scored the second-fastest <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/ravindra-jadeja-mysterious-instagram-story-triggers-retirement-rumours-23462620" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Test</strong></a> fifty by an Indian during the fifth Test against Australia in Sydney recently. &ldquo;We have to tell him properly what he has to do if he has to bat solid or bat with intent. He hasn&rsquo;t scored a lot of runs, but he didn&rsquo;t play like someone without runs. He has a lot of time on his hands. Pant is yet to realise his fullest potential,&rdquo; said Ashwin on his YouTube channel.</p>
<p>&ldquo;He has all the shots &mdash; reverse sweep, slog sweep, everything &mdash; but the problem is that all these shots are high-risk shots. With his defence, he will surely score runs every game if he faces 200 balls.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The point is finding that middle game. If he combines all of it, he will score 100 runs every game. He has to find that middle game,&rdquo; the recently-retired cricketer added.</p>
