The comparisons with the iconic Mahendra Singh Dhoni are flattering but young Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant on January 21 said he wants to carve his own identity in the game after playing a key role in the side’s historic Test series win in Australia.
“You feel amazing when you are compared to someone like MS Dhoni and you compare me with him,” Pant said after landing in New Delhi from Australia.
“It’s amazing but I don’t want to be compared with anyone, I want to make myself as a name in Indian cricket, because it’s not good [to] compare some legend with some youngster.”
