Aakash Chopra Points Out Uncanny Similarity Between MS Dhoni And Rishabh Pant: Star Indian keeper-batter Rishabh Pant is often compared to legendary cricketer MS Dhoni for more than one reason. He is in fact called a carbon copy of MS Dhoni in terms of their batting style.
Rishabh Pant Played A Stunning Knock
And the video shared by former Indian opener Aakash Chopra even shows that if ever Rishabh Pant batted right-handed, it would be difficult to identify whether it is Rishabh Pant batting or MS Dhoni during his days.
Rishabh Pant played an instrumental role in India’s historical win in the series decider against England at the Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester on Sunday, July 17, 2022. Pant played a sensational knock against England in the third and final match at Manchester to help team India register a historic ODI win.
Pant remained unbeaten on 125 runs off 113 balls. During his sensational knock, he smashed 16 fours and 2 sixes. He was later adjudged Man of the Match for his brilliant ton.
This isn’t the first time that Rishabh Pant has stood up for the Indian side in a crunch situation. And people often compare him to MS Dhoni for the way he is able to keep his cool under difficult circumstances under pressure.
