Rishabh Pant just loves batting: Mohammad Kaif

Another player that Mohammad Kaif spoke about was DC skipper Rishabh Pant. While Pant is seen as a happy-go-lucky character, the 41-year-old revealed the the DC captain was disciplined when it came to being on time in meetings and on the IPL team bus.

However, the 24-year-old used to love batting in the nets and made everyone wait until he batted to his heart's content. Here's what Kaif had to say about Pant:

"Since he became captain, Rishabh Pant always used to be on time in meetings. He was on time always despite people feeling that he might not be on time. I never saw him late on bus or in meetings. Yes, but during batting in the nets, he used to make everyone wait. He just loves batting."

According to the IPL schedule, DC will face the in-form Lucknow Super Giants in their third game of the season on Thursday.
