New Delhi, Feb 16 : On September 21, 2014, when a 17-year-old opening batsman Rishabh Pant, representing a Delhi colts team in the under-19 JY Lele All India One-day Invitation Tournament in Baroda, carted eight sixes and 22 boundaries in his 133-ball 186 against a Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) XI, former India wicketkeeper Kiran More immediately noted down his name in his mobile phone.
"Whenever I see a talented boy, I have a habit of noting down his name in my mobile. I said [to myself] 'he's a long race horse'. Now, I say he is a 100-Test player, and not just because on Tuesday he was brilliant behind the wickets against England in the second Test," More, who was chairman of the national selection committee between 2004 and 2006, told IANS.
