Rohit could empathise a lot with Pant as he too has seen the flip side of being rated as a talent which comes with its own share of ruthless scrutiny.
Rishabh Pant on Friday scored a sensational century to give India a handy lead at the end of day 2 of the fourth and final Test against England at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
After starting his innings in a cautious manner, Pant took the English bowlers to the cleaners to bring up his third hundred in the longest format.
Pant cracked a 118-ball 101 studded with 13 hits to the fence and two sixes to anchor India's innings after a 144-ball 49 by opener Rohit Sharma at the top.
Pant looked in sublime touch on the Motera strip as he hit 13 fours and 2 sixes against England.
His previous best at home has been three scores of 90s - 92, 92 (both against West Indies in 2018), and 91 (against England in Chennai in 2021).

After five innings, England crossed the 200-run mark when they managed a total of 205 in 75.5 overs before being bowled out.
