Pant is one of the most exciting young players in the game and has been a match-winner across formats. The 24-year-old, who made his international debut in 2017, has established himself as a regular in the Indian team with his calculated attacking approach.
Speaking to The Times of India, the youngster said that he will face criticism regardless of how much he scores. While the keeper-batter said that giving away his wicket pinches him, he intends to stick to a high-risk, high-reward approach, which has yielded rich dividends.
Following the recent Edgbaston Test against England, Pant achieved a career-best fifth position in the Test rankings for batters. The youngster slammed a breezy 146 in the first innings, followed by a half-century in the second. However, the tourists failed to defend 377 in the fourth innings and lost the game - which resulted in a drawn series.

The left-hander will next be seen in action at the upcoming Asia Cup. The keeper-batter faces close competition from Dinesh Karthik for the opening game against Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday (August 28).
