Taylor witnessed from close quarters how contrasting-yet-effective both are. Pant is the maverick, while Iyer is old school. One believes in not holding back, whereas the other is ready to grind it out as per the situation. If any doubts persist, go through their contrasting knocks in the first innings of the pink-ball Test against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru and you’ll get it. The one thing they both have in common though, as per Taylor, is that both are tremendous young talents who will take Indian cricket forward.
“I don’t think you can call Rishabh Pant young now, would you? He has been around for a while. Shreyas Iyer… When I first saw him, I think it was 2016-17. We played a warm-up game just at the back of Mumbai and he played with a lot of confidence. Obviously, all Indians play spin well. But the way he has taken to international and Test cricket. If there was ever a question-mark, it was over his red-ball credentials but he has put that to bed very quickly and that extra responsibility of being the captain at Kolkata I think will be great… learning from Brendon and some experienced players.”
