Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh said that wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has a lot of former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist in him. He highlighted Rishabh Pant's impact in the game, especially when batting in the middle order.
"Rishabh has a lot of Gilchrist in him as he comes in and changes the game when he walks in at number five and six. Actually, I mention to Pant a lot about how Gilchrist changed the middle order batting in Tests, about what his approach was. He is definitely a match winner at number five and six for us in Tests," Yuvraj said in the Club Prairie Fire Podcast.
