Rishabh Pant Shares 'Good Vibes' Post With MS Dhoni

The wicketkeeper-batsman Pant on Friday posted pictures with MS Dhoni and his dog on his social media platforms, saying "good vibes"

BCCI has made it clear that India wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant, with uncertainty over Dhoni's future, has become the preferred choice in all three formats. However, Pant has time and again invited a lot of critical comments from fans and cricket pundits after he failed to convert his innings into big knocks. However, Dhoni's successor has been named in both the T20I as well as Test squads for the Bangladesh home series next month. The wicketkeeper-batsman on Friday posted pictures with MS Dhoni and his dog on his social media platforms, saying "good vibes" only a day after chief selector M.S.K. Prasad said the team management is very clear on where they stand as far as the future of Dhoni is concerned. "We are moving on, we are very clear. Post World Cup we have been clear. We started backing (Rishabh) Pant and wanted to see him do well. He may not have had the best of matches but we are clear, we are focusing on him only," Prasad said after announcing the squads for the series against Bangladesh. Dhoni has been away from the game since India lost to New Zealand in the semi-final in June. Pant's poor form saw him lose the Test spot to Wriddhiman Saha and will now face competition from Sanju Samson who also made the T20I squad for the Bangladesh series. Coming to Dhoni, BCCI president Sourav Ganguly had made it clear that whatever stand Dhoni has, it will be respected. "I don't know what's in his mind. India is very proud to have M.S. Dhoni. Till I am around everybody will be respected. Dhoni's achievements make India proud," Ganguly said about his former teammate.
