He is better than all the except Gilchrist as of now. They play almost the same. Both are extremely dangerous. If he bat a session definitely a game changer.

I am not good at math so help me here:

PANT - - batting ave. (42.11) catch/stump (149/15)

SANGAKARA - - batting ave. (57.40) catch/stump (182/20)

CHANDIMAL - - batting ave. (43.11) catch/stump (92/10)

KNOTT - - batting ave. (32.75) catch/stump (250/19)

GILCHRIST - - batting ave. (47.60) catch/stump (379/37)

STEWART - - batting ave. (39.54) catch/stump (263/14)

Pant is not top two in any of these categories and as he plays more some categories will rise and some fall so how exactly is he the best in Tests? Trending to be one of the best ever, yes, presently the best ever, man stop taking advantage of the adult beverage served here.

Pant on the brink of joining the exclusive Immortal Club, with his 2nd ton of the match.

That should go a long way to settle the question of him being the best wk/batsman of late.

Let's big him up!

So if i tell you that Bumrah is the best bowler in the world, you will dispute that by referring to all the mediocre batsman he is bowling to in his career so far.?
