Rishabh Pant Is a Good Replacement of MS Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's retirement from International Cricket has been making headlines for some time. However, India has not yet found the possible replacement for MS Dhoni, who can deliver the goods behind the stumps and with the bat during difficult times of the match. Former cricketer Virender Sehwag believes Rishabh Pant can fill the void for MS Dhoni.

There is no denying that Rishabh Pant, the young wicket-keeper, is the favorite to replace MS Dhoni in the long term every time the former India captain hangs his gloves. Former skipper Virender Sehwag also believes Pant is the best option to replace Dhoni.

Although MS Dhoni has not yet hung up, the Indian selector and team management have announced that Rishabh Pant is the No. 1 contender for India in all formats. Although it can be said that there are not many other cutters who are even considered an alternative to Pant.

Speaking of the same thing, Virender Sehwag said that Rishabh Pant had already proven his class in the test format of the game. He thinks Pant will soon show his caliber in the shorter formats of the game.

"I think Rishabh Pant is the best (option). He has a proven track of himself in cricket testing and can now do so again in ODI and T20I. He is good replacement of MS Dhoni".

Former Indian player Virender Sehwag said Wednesday that left-handed batsman Rishabh Pant needed to work on his pitch ings to perform well in the limited format. Besides, he also believes that Pant has the caliber to open the sleeves for the team.

"It's going to take a little time. If he corrects his selection of shots, he will serve Team India for a long time," Sehwag told TimesofIndia.com. "I'm sure in the next three or four years, Pant will be open for the team. It can open the sleeves of the limited format."

Well, most likely, it would be Rishabh Pant, who would long occupy the place in the Indian national cricket team. The selection board and team management have already openly confirmed this in the media.
