Another pocket powerhouse in limited overs, Rishabh Pant of Delhi has an envious record in IPL and limited overs in domestic cricket. Pant has 838 runs in 34 List A games and 1792 runs in 55 T20 games at a strike rate of 104.35 and 165.31 respectively. Pant scored the second-fastest century in a Twenty20 match, making 100 from 32 balls against Himachal.   

Pant has shown his caliber with a Test century against England in their own den and the twin scores of 92 in the two Tests against Windies. A diminutive batsman with tremendous power and ability to judge the length and line of the ball a bit early than others, Pant is dangerous as once he gets into a rhythm, he keeps going on and on at a frightening pace.

Definitely, he is the finisher that India has been looking for after the decline of MS Dhoni’s hitting prowess and unlike Pandya, Pant is dangerous against both quick and spin bowlers on any surface.
