Tendulkar calls Pant's knock best ever in IPL, Ganguly, Sehwag, Laxman call him the future

Harbhajan Singh could not control his emotions after seeing Pant’s brilliance.

Sehwag must have found a little part of him in Pant’s batting and went to acknowledge that in this tweet.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly went to term the two youngsters as the future of Indian cricket.

But the best was saved for the last. SachinTendulkar described Pant’s innings as the best ever in IPL – a complement that could do wonders for the 20 year old young wicket keeper batsman.

While there has been many match changing knocks in the current season of IPL but Pant’s innings has surpassed them all, according to Tendulkar, Sehwag, Ganguly and many more.
