MS Dhoni vs Rishabh Pant

There are many reasons to look forward to this particular player battle. Both are the captains of their teams and their decision-making will reign over their respective players and will define the game for their teams.
But the biggest reason is the fact that Rishabh Pant is trying to fill the big void left by MS Dhoni in the Indian Team. If the DC captain manages to outfox his predecessor, all the talks of him being Dhoni’s perfect replacement will pick up.
There’s no doubt that Pant is perhaps India’s best wicket-keeper at the moment, but Dhoni will remain a fan favourite still and India’s legendary wicket-keeper will try to show that his shrewdness remains Intact.
