The super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup is just a few days away and all the top eight are trying to find the best combination and rhythm before the main event begins by playing warmup matches against each other. 

Today, India and Australia are playing against each other at ICC Cricket Academy Ground in Dubai. While the Indians are fielding first, Rishabh Pant is currently not on the field as wicket-keeper; Ishan Kishan is keeping the wickets. 

However, that doesn't mean Pant is being given a rest. MS Dhoni - the mentor for team India for T20 World Cup - was seen practicing with the youngster on the sidelines while the match was going on. The two were engaged in wicketkeeping drills right on the boundary.
