Lara heaps praise on improved Pant

-

Legendary West Indian batsman Brian Lara believes young wicketkeep­er-batman Rishabh Pant has improved a lot in the last few months and will do a good job in leading Delhi Capitals in the ongoing IPL.

“Around 6 months of internatio­nal cricket for him (Pant) one against Australia and here against England. Now he (Pant) is responsibl­e for the captaincy because of injury,” Lara, who holds the record for highest individual score in Test cricket, said.

“Plus, he doesn’t have the services of (Anrich) Nortje, (Kagiso) Rabada, and Axar Patel. So, they are asking a lot of him. I think he has got a team that will support him which is most important.”
