Ravichandran Ashwin has praised Rishabh Pant, calling him the "X-factor" of the Indian team.

Ravichandran Ashwin has picked Rishabh Pant as the "MVP" of the Indian team. Ashwin said that Pant is the "X-factor" of the team and that he can win matches on his own.

Ashwin's praise for Pant comes after the wicket-keeper batsman's impressive performance in the recently concluded Test series against England.

Pant scored 274 runs in the series, including a century in the second Test at Lord's. He also took five catches and effected two stumpings.

Ashwin said that Pant is a "special player" and that he has the potential to become one of the best players in the world.

"He's got all the shots and he's not afraid to play them," Ashwin said.

"He's also a very good wicket-keeper and he's always up for a fight."

Ashwin's comments echo the sentiments of many other cricket experts, who believe that Pant is one of the most exciting young players in the world.

Pant has been in excellent form in recent months and has played a key role in India's success in Test cricket.

He is expected to be a key player for India in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Pant's selection as the MVP of the Indian team is a testament to his talent and his importance to the team.

He is a player who can change the course of a match with his batting or wicket-keeping and is a vital part of India's plans for the future.
