Australia captain Pat Cummins is well aware of the fact that Rishabh Pant has been a major influence in Team India's back-to-back Test series victory. He further stated that it will be important to keep Rishabh Pant quite ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

A key figure in India's historic Test triumphs in 2018-19 and 2020-21, the 26-year-old Rishabh Pant made a stunning comeback from a horrific car accident in December 2022, scoring a second-inning century in the first Test against Bangladesh last week.
