Indian cricket team and English cricket team are up against each other at Edgbaston in the last Test match of the series. The game is at it’s final stages now as Indian team has been bowled out by English bowlers in the second innings. England team needs 378 runs to win and level this 5-match Test series by 2-2.

Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has praised the Indian wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant who played amazingly in both the innings for India. Rishabh Pant hit an emphatic century in the first innings. Delhi Capitals’ skipper scored 146 runs in the first and 57 in the second innings of the game. Irfan Pathan feels this Test match should belong to the wicket-keeper batter (Rishabh Pant) for his wonderful innings.

Rishabh scored more than 200 runs in this Test and was the top-scorer for India. Not only this but he also made a new record of becoming the only visiting wicket-keeper batter to score most runs in England. He broke the record of Clyde Walcott who scored 182 in England in the year 1950.

“This test match belongs to Rishabh pant. 200 runs in the most important test match of the series and that too came at a time when team India was under the pump,” tweeted Irfan Pathan on day 4 of the 5th Test (Eng v Ind).
