Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-Ul-Haq is seeing a bright future for India's wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant. He lauded the youngster for his fearless batting and said Pant can easily leave MS Dhoni and Adam Gilchrist behind if he continues the current form.

Pant showed effortless hitting against England in the second ODI and scored 40-ball 77. He has been in incredible form in Test cricket lately and the southpaw showed he's also ready to take over in the limited-overs format.

"The one who gave India the boost in batting in the lower order was Rishabh Pant, who scored a brilliant 77 off 40 balls. Because of him, India's run-rate spiked. I have been following him for the last 6-7 months, and the way he is batting and scoring effectively at different positions is amazing," Inzamam said on his YouTube channel.

"The way he expresses himself and the range of strokes he has, I have seen it only in two wicketkeeper batsmen in the last 30-35 years, MS Dhoni and Adam Gilchrist. These were the two wicket-keepers who could change a match.

"The kind of performance Rishabh Pant is giving, if he continues to play in the same manner, he will leave both of them behind, and by quite some distance."

Inzamam credited Pant's acceleration in the end for India's total of 336/6 in the second ODI. Pant hit seven sixes in his innings, which was also his highest score in ODI cricket.

"It's not that KL Rahul batted slowly. His innings was magnificent, but the one that changed the match was Pant's 40-ball 77 and Pandya's 35 off 16. How they scored in 9 and a half overs made a difference," he said.
