The future of Indian cricket Rishabh Pant batted with the man he is going to take over from, MS Dhoni in the second T20I against New Zealand. The fans were going crazy as soon as Dhoni came out to bat. The fact that Pant and Dhoni will bat together excited the fans on Twitter.

Pant and Dhoni took India safely over the line. Unlike the first T20I, India was never in trouble in this match. They chased the target of 159 with 7 balls and wickets left.

The youngster Rishabh was promoted in the batting order in this match. He was asked to bat at number 3 spot and he did justice by scoring an unbeaten 40 runs in 28 balls. Dhoni, on the other hand, scored 20 runs in 17 balls as there was not much pressure on him after Vijay Shankar was dismissed on 14.

The 37-year-old batted with Pant for 31 balls and Twitter was glued to the partnership even though the game wasn't a nail-biting.

Here is how they reacted:
