Pant would be quite proud of himself for that stumping

On Day 4 of the first Test against Bangladesh, Rishabh Pant was stumped in, and India’s seasoned keeper Dinesh Karthik made a significant comment. Day 4 of the first Test between India and Bangladesh saw Bangladesh put up a valiant effort as they batted all day in the 513-run chase in Chattogram. When the hosts resumed their innings at 42/0, Zakir Hasan scored his first Test century (100), and Najmul Hossain Shanto added 67 as they put up a 124-run stand for the first wicket. Although India made progress during the second and third periods of the day, the hosts were still at 272/6 and needed 241 more runs to win the match.

Axar Patel (3/50), who was the leader of the visitors’ comeback, took key wickets of Yasir Ali, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Nurul Hasan after India had a disappointing opening session. With the help of wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant’s outstanding stumping performance, Nurul’s was the final wicket to be taken on Day 3. Many people noted that Pant’s lightning-quick glove work made them think of former India captain MS Dhoni, and veteran keeper Dinesh Karthik of India also made similar similarities.

Dhoni would be “proud” with Pant’s stumping to secure Nurul Hasan’s wicket, according to Karthik.

He looks up to MS Dhoni, and Dhoni would be really pleased with how he performed the stumping. The best part is that it can be challenging to respond quicker when the ball is pitched closer. You have the impression that the batter will attempt the shot. However, Pant was already moving his hand toward the stump in preparation for the ball to miss the bat. That is why it was completed so quickly.” Karthik

As a wicketkeeper, your job is to catch the ball; however, in this situation, and this is why Dhoni was unique, he began predicting as soon as he saw the ball. They began bringing their hand in the opposite direction as soon as there was a possibility that the ball may be defeated. When it goes to the third umpire, there is where you notice the minuscule difference in time. The batsman was stumped as he was making his way back. The fact that Pant brought the gloves toward the stumps as the ball came through demonstrated his awareness of the possibility of the batsman being out.
