Rishabh Pant is like Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson: Ricky Ponting

Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting compared wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant to Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson. The veteran stated that the young wicketkeeper-batsman will always take his team over the line if he is there at the end. Rishabh Pant was handed over the captaincy reins of Delhi Capitals after regular skipper Shreyas Iyer was ruled out of IPL 2021 due to a shoulder injury. Ricky Ponting acknowledged the fact that Rishabh Pant needs to work a little harder on his wicket-keeping. The former believes that he has the right qualities to become India's top choice for the next 10 to 12 years.
