"There are two batters in India. The second is Rishabh Pant. The first one was Virender Sehwag, whose defence was attacking. He used to go after the boundary on the first ball. Rishabh Pant came, whose defence is attack. He plays shots and plays well against Bangladesh. He won hearts," Basit said on his YouTube channel.

Rishabh Pant struck a century on his return to test cricket as India reduced Bangladesh to 158-4 at stumps on day three of the first test.

Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill cleansed months of hurt, anxiety, and disappointments of varying nature with emotional hundreds on the third day to place India in a prime position to win the IND vs BAN 1st Test on Saturday.
