Rishabh Pant better than Sanju? I think you really need to look into the facts.. Pant played in small grounds with 50-52 M boundaries where miss hits will go six. Why Pant came at 6 in few matches? Bcs bowl was swinging. He didn't want to get himself into trouble. It's called stat padding There shouldn't be any debate over who is the best Wk Batter in India. It is Sanju Samson.. Data don't lie like PR Stunt Experts Sanju Samson is ahead of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul in all crucial parameters * Pant played one extra match than Sanju & Rahul Strike rate Sanju 161 Pant 160 Rahul 144 Boundaries Sanju 53 Pant 52 Rahul 48 Dot ball percentage Sanju 26% Pant 33% Rahul 29% Sanju Samson runs were match winning runs and more over he stayed till the end to take his team Home. Whereas Pant and Rahul runs were more individual runs rather than affecting the outcome of the match Pant dot boll percentage is high which shows his strike rotation inability esp against spinners High Impactful innings Sanju 4 Pant 2 Rahul 2 Why Sanju is the perfect fit for Middle Order Rahul never played in middle order. Pant is a slow starter which can be counter productive in middle overs and his strike rate against spin is only 116 Sanju strike rate is above 150 against both spinners and pacers When it comes to boundary hitting Sanju is ahead of Pant & Rahul especially in Middle overs 7-15. Sanju Samson & Sky has the highest strike rate among Indian players in 7-15 phase. Pant strike is the worst among three, only 122. Samson has the best game to accelerate and clear the ropes In Middle overs You need a player who gets go from First ball. So I'm taking only Pant & Sanju who comes after PP. Sanju gets go from ball no 1 or at least from ball 3 for Boundaries. Here Pant is a big worry. He takes his sweet time. Esp if it's spinners then he struggles Strike rate for first 10 balls Sanju 147 Pant 117 Rahul 136 Now let's take a look at acceleration. Here also Sanju Samson is way ahead of Pant & Rahul. You need to notice the fact that Pant has two big overs in this IPL, Mohit 31 runs, Venky 28. Other than that he failed to produce big overs consistently. Sanju has done that Strike rate between 12-20 overs Sanju 165 Pant 160 Rahul 146 There is no qn about who has the numbers behind him and who is most deserving wk batter. Sanju Samson is miles ahead of Pant & Rahul. Now prove your point with facts or stop doing this Pant PR work. Challenge.. I expect you to take this challenge like a MAN
