The forthcoming International T20 Cup is set to start on October 17 in Oman and UAE. The occasion returns following five years and there is a feeling of fervor among fans and specialists. Indeed, even the telecasters are not behind and have bounced into the temporary fad by delivering a pleasant video including India captain Virat Kohli and wicketkeeper hitter Rishabh Pant.
In the clasp, Kohli lets Pant know that hitting sixes is vital during the International T20 Cup. Gasp rushed to react and said he is rehearsing it by playing shots in the nets. The southpaw then, at that point, gave an illustration of MS Dhoni and said that a wicketkeeper-hitter had assisted India with lifting the International 50 over Cup in 2011.
-Rishabh, sixes win you matches in T20 cricket,- Kohli tells Pant in a virtual call in the video shared by Star Sports India.
-Don-t worry bhaiya, I am practicing every day. It was a wicketkeeper that won India a 50-over Cup by hitting a six,- said Pant.
Apart from being one of the modern-day greats, Dhoni was also regarded as one of the finest finishers of the game. Kohli was quick to note that fact and trolled Pant by saying that India have not got a wicketkeeper like Dhoni after the veteran-s retirement.
-Yes, but India have not got a wicketkeeper like Mahi bhai since then,- Kohli said.
After hearing this comment, Pant had a wry smile on his face and said he is the designated wicketkeeper batter of the team, who can finish matches like Dhoni. Kohli said there are quite a few options in the team such as KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan. -See I have a lot of wicketkeepers, let-s see who plays in the warm-ups.-
