It is fascinating for such a young man to have such an impact that Rishabh has had and others are responding and playing in that positive manner,"  he told Press Trust of India (PTI).

Ishan Kishan has taken his opportunity and played really well -Adam Gilchrist

In place of Pant, Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul have kept wickets for India at different times and have done a reasonable job. Kishan has also been batting in a dual role in the top or the middle order recently according to the requirements of the team. Rahul scored a magnificent hundred against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2023 on his comeback.
