Rishabh Pant didn’t do anything special in the second match of this series but even today, Australia will remember Rishabh Pant for playing in Australia in the last two tours All games. Former Australia great and former head coach Justin Langer admits that Pant still scares him. However, he is happy to have Pant playing for his team in the IPL.
