The Englishman was referring to Jonny Bairstow’s superlative performances with the bat in the recently-concluded Test series against New Zealand, which England won 3-0.
During the 2nd Test at Trent Bridge against New Zealand, Bairstow smashed 136 off 92 balls to help the hosts to a five-wicket win when chasing 299 for victory.
He followed it up with a 95-ball ton in the next Test at Headingley, scoring 162 off 157 balls.
Fans, however, reminded Vaughan that Pant has been batting the way he did in Edgbaston for a while now.
Better description would be-Jonny B played like Rishabh last week…..Rishabh was doing Bazball way before Bazball was even a thing.

Why you need to compare with an English fellow rather than just appreciating him alone. Anyways, Pant has been doing this for 3 years and your Johnny is doing it for almost 4-5 matches. Spot the difference Mr. No Odi Hundred Captain.

Sorry Michael… Rishab is just doing Rishab’s things! No disrespect to JB, he would need atleast a couple of those knocks away from England to become eligible for doing a Rishab!

On Friday, Pant’s superb counter-attacking century helped India reach 338 for seven at stumps on the opening day.
The wicketkeeper hit 19 fours and four sixes while dominating a partnership of 222 with fellow left-hander Ravindra Jadeja, 83 not out at stumps.
