Pant has the effect that Virender Sehwag or Adam Gilchrist used to have on rivals,” Karthik told the Times of India in an interview, about Indian wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant. Pant played a pivotal role in India's glorious Test series win in Australia and followed that up with crucial knocks in the Test series against England at home, which India won after coming back from a game down. India lost that match and the series 1-4 but Pant won admirers due to his never-say-die attitude. He scored an unbeaten 159 in the final Test in Sydney in January 2019 as India secured a historic win down under. He continued to play important knocks but it was in Australia again that Pant made headlines.
