Rishabh Pant, Delhi wicketkeeper-batsman, made his international debut in the third and final T20I between India and England in Bangalore on Wednesday. He has hit 49 over-boundaries in the Ranji Trophy, followed by Jharkhand’s Ishan Kishan at 36. One of the stars of the 2016 U-19 World Cup where India lost to West Indies in the final, Pant has gone from strength to strength in the last two years. A year after his Ranji Trophy debut, Pant scored a triple hundred against Maharashtra that almost brought Delhi close to Maharashtra’s first innings score of 635. That was followed by a 48-ball century --- the fastest in Ranji Trophy history --- against Jharkhand.
