RISHABH PANT NEEDS TO BE CONSISTENT
He is no doubt a talented left-handed batsman but has yet not been able to prove what he is at the international levels. No doubt he has groomed a lot under the guidance of Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir but still needs to be polished to make him ready for the upcoming World Cup in 2019.
In an interview, he himself stated that he being a great admirer of MS Dhoni always wanted to share a dressing room with him in the Indian Premier League but destiny had some other plans. He is often considered as an appropriate replacement for MS Dhoni but yet needs to work on his skills behind the stumps to be able to do so as no doubt he is a good hitter as well as the timer of the cricket ball.
