Praising wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, Irfan Pathan said there has been improvement in the 24-year-old's method. "Earlier, Pant used to play shots only on the leg side but now plays shots on the off-side as well...He now tries to find a way to stay on the pitch, doesn't only hit," added Irfan. Pant scored 185 runs in two Sri Lanka Tests.
