Calling MS Dhoni his mentor, the young wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant said former Indian skipper has his own way of helping the youngsters as he never provides a full solution to a problem, encouraging them to look for answers. Pant, was touted as Dhoni’s successor until KL Rahul emerged as a gloveman in ODIs and T20Is, making the southpaw no more certainty in the playing eleven.

During an Instagram live “He (Dhoni) has been like a mentor to me, on and off the field. I can approach him freely with any problem I may be facing, and he will never give me the entire solution for it. This is so that I don’t become entirely dependent on him, he gives me hints only that helps me solve the issue myself. If Mahi bhai is at the crease, you know things are sorted. He’s got a plan in his head, and all you need to do is follow it!”
