Suresh Raina Praises Rishabh Pant and Supports Abhishek Sharma for Test Cricket
Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina praised Rishabh Pant's hard work and potential, calling him a favorite player with an 'X factor' and expressing confidence in his growth in white-ball cricket and the IPL. Pant remains a key Test player despite limited recent white-ball appearances. Raina also advocated for promoting Test cricket among young players, suggesting that opener Abhishek Sharma should be given opportunities in the longest format, while noting that 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi may be too young for Tests currently.
