Former Australia captain Adam Gilchrist believes India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is “the most exciting cricketer in the world at the moment.”

Being a dashing, left-handed wicketkeeper-batter himself, Gilchrist, admits he finds this breed exciting. “I love wicketkeeper-batsmen, particularly left-handers. And Rishabh is a dangerous player, who can produce unexpected results. He’s so exciting to watch, that’s a sign of a quality player,” said Gilchrist, who is in the city as part of Investment NSW, an initiative to boost travel and trade in Australia’s southern region of New South Wales.
