Former India wicket-keeping batter Saba Karim has said that he hopes India don’t feel the pinch of Rishabh Pant’s absence in the up[coming Border-Gavaskar series. India is set to face Australia in a four-match Test series, starting February 9.
“One spot that Australia would want to exploit is that of the opposition wicketkeeper. Rishabh Pant has changed the face of Test cricket for India and I hope they don’t feel the pinch of his absence,” said Karim.
He heaped praise on Virat Kohli, saying he instilled the belief in the team that be it in home conditions or away, Australia can be beaten.
“Ever since we travelled to Australia for the 2014-15 series, Team India have been able to make a name for themselves. The credit for this goes to Virat Kohli because he instilled the belief in the team that be it in home conditions or away, Australia can be beaten,” Karim added.
