Rishabh Pant Reacts to Australia U-Turn on Virat Kohli

Rishabh Pant Reacts to Australia U-Turn on Virat Kohli: Steve Smith's comments about Virat Kohli months before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy stirred discussion among many people on the internet. The Australian Cricketer Steve Smith explained that Virat Kohli is the 'most Australian' among all Indian players.

It is understandable as Steve Smith belongs from Australia which is not a place for fragile hearts because it is their culture and how they play cricket suits their ruthless background where there is no hold back.

Over the past year, there are some batters such as Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, and VVS Laxman who have gotten under the skin of the Aussies but no one could rival Kohli's passion and are always ready to return sometimes they even fight.

However, a few days ago, Smith's Australian teammate Travis Head did something of an Australian U-turn when he named Rishabh Pant as his version of an Indian with Australian traits.

In a chat with Star Sports, Travis Head said, "The Indian cricketer I believe is most Australian would be Rishabh Pant. I think the way he goes about his aggressive nature and his work ethic would make him very enjoyable to play with.”

Rishabh Pant reacts to Steve Smith’s verdict, he appreciated the gestures from the Australian and responded to the video on Instagram with a fire emoji. The Australians are aware of how good Rishabh Pant is, when India toured Australia in 2020-21, Pant beat them 2-1 with impactful innings in a row.

Australian Cricketer, Mitchell Marsh said, "He's a ripping bloke. I wish he was Australian. He's obviously been through a lot over the last few years, and it's been a hell of a comeback. He's a positive guy, still really young, and he loves winning. He's highly competitive for someone who has the persona of being relaxed and always laughing and smiling. He's got that big smile.”
