Rishabh Pant, over the course of time, has impressed the cricket lovers with his explosive batting. His performance in Tests and ODI has impressed the selectors too and thus, he has even sealed a berth in place of MS Dhoni in the T20 side for Australia. In fact, Rishabh Pant was given a chance in place of MS Dhoni for the three-match T20 tournament against West Indies. India won the T20I series by 3-0, all thanks to the blistering innings of 58 runs from 38 balls which comprised of five fours and three sixes. Shikhar Dhawan too contributed scoring 92 runs off 62 balls. But what caught the attention of the people was Pant pulling off an MS Dhoni by hitting an excellent one-handed six.
Pant walked out to bat on number four as India chased the total of 182 runs in 20 overs. He walked back to the pavilion by making his individual highest score. The glorious one-handed shot by Pant during the last ball of the 13th over. He went on to execute the shot using his bottom hand the shot surely reminded you of MS Dhoni.
