The veteran Indian cricketer, Suresh Raina has showered praise on Rishabh Pant and said that the wicket-keeper is as dominant as Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag. Raina was doing an Instagram Live session with the leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal during which he spoke about Pant.
During the chat, Raina said, “He is a top cricketer when he plays well, you become happy and he reminds of Yuvraj and Sehwag, he is as dominant as them, when he plays the flick, it reminds you of Dravid as well.”
Raina also said that Virat Kohli’s energy is a game-changer when he leads the Indian team in the ODIs and the T20Is. He said Virat is the solid captain and with his ever-lasting energy, Kohli can control things in a better way. On the other hand, Pant was last seen in action during India’s two-match Test series against New Zealand earlier this year.
