India's experienced wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik has backed his fellow gloveman the young Rishabh Pant to come good in the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand starting June 18 at Southampton. While talking about the batting order, Karthik heaped praise on Rishabh Pant, who has been in the form of his life. Pant, who hit a 92 and 89* Down Under against Australia hit his first Test century in India during India's home Test assignment against England. Karthik was also confident that he will be ready for the English conditions having hit his first-ever century in the longest format there. Pant has been to England before, has a century at The Oval, and knows how to deal with the conditions,” he added.
