Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant is gearing up for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) which begins on Saturday. His team will lock horns with the Mumbai Indians (MI) on Sunday and before going into the game he was seen coaching with former Indian stumper Kiran More who is also a part of the MI coaching staff.
The young gloveman has been facing flak for his performance behind the wickets during the just-concluded ODI series against Australia. In order to overcome the mistakes, he committed briefly worked with More on Friday at the Wankhede stadium.
The session was captured on camera and the video was shared on the official social media handle of the Mumbai franchise.
Here's the video:
More has worked with 21-year-old Pant, who has represented India in all the three formats - Test, ODI and T20I - in the past too. He told the young Delhi boy how could he become better behind the stumps with the gloves, taking leaves out of MS Dhoni's playbook.
“Rishabh had a more sideways movement and I suggested a bit more open-chested stance. It helps in balance and keeping a still head, something that is key to Mahendra Singh Dhoni's success,” More said.
