Rishabh Pant and Ben Stokes likely to be in action in Chennai from Friday, February 5.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan is excited for India and England to lock horns for the next two months as he would get to watch Rishabh Pant and Ben Stokes play. He has rated the two as the 'most enjoyable' to watch at the moment.
England all-rounder Ben Stokes has produced some majestic knocks in the past couple of years and is definitely one to watch out for.
On the other hand, Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant produced a knock similar to Stokes when he took India home in the Brisbane Test against Australia last month.
Michael Vaughan told Sky Sports, "He (Rishabh Pant) is up there with Ben Stokes as the most enjoyable cricketers to watch. When Pant goes out to bat, I watch. I would not want to be next in because you know things will happen."
"But if he continues to play the game with the joy and energy he has at the moment as if he is still an 11-year-old then he will pose so many challenges to the opposing team," he added.

Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag was also known for taking the attack on the opposition irrespective of the format he was playing. He has accelerated against the new ball a lot of times and has provided Team India the impetus to score big.
England had faced his wrath at the same venue in 2008 when Sehwag's quickfire 83 on Day 4 had helped Yuvraj Singh and Sachin Tendulkar to scale a target of 387 on the final day.
Vaughan compared Pant's ability to that of Sehwag and said, "Sehwag put the fear into opposing bowlers and Pant has the same ability at six to do the same. He will make mistakes and get out for low scores at times but he will also win so many games."
Rishabh Pant might be in action against England in the first Test in Chennai from Friday, February 5.
