Rishabh Pant is probably one of the best up and coming cricketers India has to offer. It seems like he is being groomed to be the next MS Dhoni.

His keeping skills may indicate otherwise but his batting shows that he can live up to the expectations. Last year, Pant was the second highest run scorer in the tournament with 684 runs.

He may not have been as good with the bat as last year, in terms of runs, but he managed to maintain his consistency. In fact, this year he has shown a bit more maturity in his batting. It almost feels like he has grown up as the tournament progressed.

Pant went from swinging for the fences at every ball to playing careful strategic innings. A couple of times Pant single-handedly rescued his team from the brink of defeat by playing a mature knock ensuring they crossed over the finish line.

Rishabh Pant finished the season with 488 runs from 16 matches at a strike-rate of 162.66.
