What makes him different that dozens other one time wonders like KLPD ? Just look at his average which is worse than most average allrounders and even bowlers like Ashwin. No we don’t need such pathetic XYZ or trans factor. We need someone like Pujara and Vihari and not this shit . He can GTFO to IPL and show all his XYZ antiquesHis X factor is the reason we won In Australia last time.
Players run score because of their skills and desire to do whatever it takes to make runs and act like stuntman and do clownish things and get out with single digit score in 80% of your inningsPlayers score runs because of X factor it can be anything solid defence like pujara or flamboyant like Pant there are no players who just score runs without any X factor it can be anything from their patience to their technique.
This is a big misconception that he plays better than say Rohit or Kohli. Its just that he comes at a time when the ball stops swinging and come straight to bat. Bring him at opening and see his X/Y/Z/Loda-Laasun factorHe was playing so well in this green pitch it's others fault he got out the way he did runs from other end just dried up completely.
At least Kohli and KLPD have their solid technic to back their position. Pant has none
