I’ve learned a lot of things from MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, reveals Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant heaped praise on India captain Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni who have helped him develop his game in a lot of areas ever since he was called up to the national team in 2018. Pant added that he will not think about the 2019 ICC ODI World Cup until he makes the trip to England in May.

Often compared to the CSK captain, Pant added that he does not pay much attention to comparisons that are made in the media but rather is focused on giving his best every time he gets the opportunity to play for India.
"I'm not thinking about the comparison too much. As a player, I want to learn from him (Dhoni). He's a legend of the game. I don't want people to compare but I can't stop them from doing so. I'm close to him and talk to him about everything how I can improve my game on and off the field.
"I've learned lots of things from them (Kohli and Dhoni) like discipline, how to take the pressure, how to learn from other people's mistakes and implement it on your game. There's been a lot of learning," Pant told ANI.
Pant, who became the first Indian wicketkeeper to score a Test century in England and Australia, added that the upcoming 2019 ICC ODI World Cup is not on his mind at the moment. However, he acknowledged that he will only think about the global showpiece if he makes the squad for the World Cup.
"I haven't thought about that (World Cup) too much right now because we are playing in India and the conditions are different (from England). Last week we had Australia series, now we have IPL coming up. So we have matches regular. When I'll go to England only then I'll think about that," Pant added.
