Praising Rishabh Pant, Sanjay Manjrekar said on Geographstar, “When you do it as Anil Kumble decided to play a bandage on the jaw, these are the moments of history that you will remember even after 50 years. It shows how committed to play for India.”
Rishabh Pant wants to leave his mark in the test
Sanjay Manjrekar said, “There is something special in the Test, especially when it is in England. How much attention is given to you as a cricketer, he wants to give his best here. If you think that he does not have the same impact in the cricket of the limited overs, then this is probably the reason. Because Rishabh Pant wants to leave his mark in more Test cricket than other formats.”

Sanjay Manjrekar said, “When we saw Rishabh Pant with Gautam Gambhir, he was in white dress, we felt that he would come to bat at the end of the innings. But who thought he would come to bat after falling the sixth wicket. He was clearly seen in pain, he was completely decided. He decided that he would bat.”
