Mumbai: Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has said that selectors should support Rishabh Pant as India’s future Test captain. MS. Citing Dhoni as an example, Yuvraj said that Rishabh Pant is the best player to lead the Indian Test team in the future.
‘Keeping someone ready is a must. “Didn’t Dhoni come out of the void? Didn’t they make Dhoni the captain? Then Dhoni evolved,” Yuvraj said on a private channel show.
‘A wicket-keeper is a good thinker. Because the wicket-keeper can look at the ground best.
The first thing to do is to select a young player for the future captaincy. He should be given some time. Do not expect any miracles for six months or a year. The only salvation is to take the youth into the faith.
I was also immature at the age of the ball. Kohli was also immature when he was appointed captain at the same age. But the ball is getting better. The ball has already scored 4 centuries in Tests.
Given who is the best wicket-keeper-batsman in Test cricket, the ball may even become legendary in the future, ”Yuvraj said.
The 26-year-old Dhoni was appointed captain of India in the limited overs format when Rahul Dravid stepped down after the 2007 ODI World Cup faded. Two years later, Dhoni succeeded Anil Kumble as Test captain. Rishabh-led Delhi Capitals will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL today. The match is crucial for both teams.
