India Today

Former India batter Suresh Raina has described wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant as the backbone of the Indian Test team. Pant has amassed 425 runs at an impressive average of 70.83 in the series so far, making him the second-highest run-scorer behind captain Shubman Gill. "Rishabh Pant is the backbone of the Indian Test team. The way he bats, the way he keeps on chirping from behind the stumps to disturb the opposition batters," Raina told India Today.

00:00India has a test match, although India can win, but now Manchester will be difficult to win, but you are happy with this team?

00:10Absolutely, I think that the spell of Bhumra, Shuman Gil's batting and astute leadership.

00:16After that, Jadeja's fighting and batting.

00:19The most impressive thing I thought was Kail Rahul's opening slot batting.

00:24With the outstanding technique, I have a little bit of a catch.

00:29In the UK, in the first test match, we had a slip catch.

00:34We used to practice here because the slip catch is very important.

00:39Bhumra, you will see a duck-it catch at the point, then slip.

00:43It feels a little bit, but I think overall you will see a lot.

00:46It was definitely a tough match because it was a historical match in the historical place.

00:51And you almost won.

00:53I still think that Bhumra, when he was batting with Jaddu, there was a little risk there.

01:00Because Bhumra can bat.

01:02It was a tough match.

01:04But I think Jadeja had a lot of effort.

01:06At the beginning, there is a little point out why he can do that.

01:10The first inning of Rishapandh was running out.

01:12I thought that he could hit.

01:14Because you can't underestimate Ben Stoke's pick-up.

01:18After that, when you turn and throw the ball, you can see three stumps.

01:21When you hit the ball, you will think that it will be where it will be.

01:24They knew that they are the wicket-keeper.

01:25When he drops the ball, the batter should drop.

01:27So he could run.

01:29That was a turning point.

01:31Overall, I think that Bhumra should play.

01:33In Manchester, it won't be easy.

01:35But overall, the Indian team is a young side.

01:37in fact, team runs the string.

01:40He is doing good.

01:41Rishapandh is so good for the defensive end.

01:43How important ones've got a team turned to this team?

01:45One, I pikit Bungar is the backbone.

01:46About the principles of the team.

01:48All the principles of them act in that direction.

01:49All of whom success is good enough después.

01:50Rishapandh votes the Sponges depression and Mat Designers to put their land.

01:51One of their tactics of Rishapandh's livestock to make new to Kitchenند and the way they put back.

01:55So Perric Bloom championship, that it will play but the five전에, 6th and the 7 standards are given it.

02:00They will play.

02:02When the players will be taking up.

02:03When they have a catch-up compliant, it will the field to push.

02:05You have advised him to play Rishabh Pant, in the name of the credit.

02:12Many people see Rishabh Pant, but they say that there is clarity in my mind.

02:17He has a backing of his own game.

02:19Because you will see that there is a player in the years,

02:22who has a backup captain.

02:24The selector said that Rohit has a backup.

02:26You can play your Bindaz game.

02:28Because he has a success in the red ball,

02:30he is a USP that you are talking.

02:32Ravindra Jadeja is an unsung hero in India.

02:35He is playing so many years.

02:37He has a batting average of almost 44.

02:39In England, his runs are more than 80.

02:41He is 50.

02:42After that, he is a world's best all-rounder in the test cricket.

02:48He has a fielding, batting, bowling.

02:51He has to be able to save the team.

02:53At one time, we will lose 100 runs.

02:56When he has a wicket.

02:58He is playing with the Jaddae's first class or fighting spirit.

03:02They see a good running between the players,

03:04and attacking.

03:05I remember, he hit a back foot punch with a car.

03:09He told him that there is a game change.

03:12The Jaddae said that,

03:13Why are you not doing this?

03:15He is building a partnership.

03:17He knows his character and his ability to win.

03:21I am here to win.

03:22That is the Jaddae's fighting spirit.
