In a recent interview, the 21-year old southpaw remembered his time at the Kirribilli House in Sydney.

“Everyone’s family were really nice. We met most of the people during the function at the prime minister’s house. It was lovely meeting them. I don’t think I have to change myself for something like that. The only thing is they put the photo on Instagram and it went viral,” Pant was quoted as saying to the media.

The fact that Pant has scored more runs than India captain Virat Kohli in the ongoing series speaks highly about the influence which he has had. In seven innings, Pant has scored 350 runs at an average of 58.33 and a strike rate of 73.99.

Apart from his returns with the bat, it is worth mentioning that Pant has been constantly in the ears of the Australian batsmen. Pant has had a few things to say to the Australian batsmen in this series which include Usman Khawaja, Pat Cummins and Paine.
