IPL 2021 | Shikhar Dhawan impressed by Rishabh Pant’s calmness on captaincy debut, says he’s only going to get better

“The best thing about Rishabh Pant is that he stays calm. His presence of mind is quite there, which is very very good,” says Shikhar Dhawan

Delhi Capitals experienced opener Shikhar Dhawan was mighty impressed with Rishabh Pant’s leadership qualities, saying the youngster led the team in a calm and composed manner in his first match as captain and will only get better with time. Pant was thrust into captaincy after regular skipper Shreyas Iyer sustained a shoulder injury during the recent ODI series against England and was ruled out of the tournament. The 23-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman made a memorable start to his captaincy stint as he led DC to a convincing seven-wicket win over three-time champions Chennai Super Kings in their opening match of the IPL 2021 in Mumbai on April 10.
