Rishabh Pant became the talk of the town and everyone’s favorite after the victory over Australia. He played many crucial innings in the entire series. He was the top scorer for India in the series with 274 runs. He smashed 97 runs at the SCG which gave a real scare to the hosts, Australia.
Sakshi Dhoni, on Tuesday, posted an endearing picture with Rishabh Pant and husband, Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Dhoni is seen wearing a green colored hat and taking a selfie with Sakshi and Rishbah. All of them look happy in the image. Rishabh Pant, on the other hand is seen wearing the same t-shirt which he was seen wearing a couple of days back, on Monday on Instagram. The Instagram image was captioned: “How many of you have watched this cartoon on my T-shirt.” Here is the post:
The fans on Instagram were amused to see India’s two star wicket-keepers together in one frame. Many of them made comments calling Dhoni “Thala” and Rishabh “Tom” due to his recent T-shirt with an imprint of the cartoon, Tom.
Rishabh Pant rubbishes comparisons with MS Dhoni:
Recently, in the Australia series, Pant surpassed Dhoni’s record of being the fastest Indian keeper to cross the 1000 run-mark in Tests. Rishabh completed the milestone in 27 innings while Dhoni had reached the milestone in 32 games. A lot of fans started comparing both the wicket-keepers, but Rishabh Pant completely rubbished all these comparisons. He was quoted saying:
"It feels amazing when you compare someone like MS Dhoni. It feels good for me to be compared with him. But I don't want me to be compared with anyone. I want to make a name for myself in Indian cricket. That's the only thing I am focused on. Because it's not too good to compare a legend with a youngster.”
Rishabh would now be looking to better his form in the coming Test series against England while Dhoni would be preparing for the next season of IPL.
