BCCI president Sourav Ganguly was bowled over by Rishabh Pant’s attacking hundred on Day 2 of the fourth and final Test match against England in Ahmedabad.

Lauding Pant for his brilliant innings, Ganguly predicted that the left-hander will be an ‘all-time great in all formats of the game’.

"How good is he? Unbelievable,what a knock under pressure, not the first time and won't be the last time, will be an all time great in all formats in the years to come. Keep batting in this aggressive manner. thats why will be match winner and special," wrote Ganguly on Twitter.

His comments came after Pant slammed his third Test hundred and first in India to place hosts in a comfortable position at the end of Day 2. India reached 294 for 7 at stumps, enjoying a lead of 89 runs.

Pant scored 101 off 118 balls in an innings that was a mixture of caution and aggression. The left-hander walked into bat at No.6 when India were in a spot of bother. 

The 23-year-old displayed tremendous game sense to first bide his time before taking a worn out attack to the cleaners.
