3. Dhoni’s presence will help Rishabh Pant grow as a cricketer
Captain Cool has been the role model for many aspiring wicket keeper batsmen of the nation and Rishabh Pant is no exception. He resembles a bit of a carefree Dhoni who burst on to the scene in 2005 and took the world by storm and can grow as a cricketer in his presence. Pant has been with the T20 and ODI teams recently and interacting with Dhoni will surely help him shape his career better.
Dhoni might well look to pass on the baton Pant once he feels the time has come and the southpaw is ready and till then it should be a great opportunity for the teenager to learn the work ethics of a keeper from Dhoni.
