Former Indian Captain is not India’s first choice of wicket-keeper anymore. Now selectors are looking to groom Rishabh Pant and Dhoni will have the duty to do so. According to sources, Dhoni will turn up to Indian side in T20I series against New Zealand and South Africa in January-February 2020.

Now, Rishabh Pant has a good chance to be India’s main wicket-keeper for a long time. In short span of his career, he has done quite well. But we have seen most of the Pant in Test cricket and In the IPL. In limited-overs international cricket, Pant still needs to prove himself. Also, he has constantly faced criticism for his irresponsible stroke play throughout his career.
