“They (critics) talk about his immaturity; they talk about that he is a young kid. Obviously, I was immature at that age, Virat was immature when he was captain at that age. Yes, he is immature, but he is getting better, and he is getting mature with time goes by. You need to give players that much of time,” he told News 18.
“You also have to see; the game has also evolved. It is not like what it used to be 10-15 years ago. It is faster now. He (Pant) is a guy who believes in his game. If he is not going to hit the first ball in Test cricket, he is not going to learn. That is how he learned,” he added.
Yuvraj also praised the Indian team management for sticking with Pant despite his impatience game.
“I am glad that they gave him chances after chances and that is how his game developed. And keeper is always a good thinker because he always has the best view in the ground,” he said.
He also feels that Rishabh Pant can become the greatest wicket-keeper batsman in the world.
“You already have four Test hundreds and you can do that. In terms of best wicket-keeper batsman, I see Rishabh could be the future legend,” he concluded.
