Yuvraj Singh Picks Rishabh Pant As Potential Successor To Captain Virat Kohli

By IANS News July 08, 2021 • 23:41 PM View: 1708

Having watched Rishabh Pant in action as skipper of Delhi Capitals, former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh is mighty impressed. He thinks the young wicket-keeper has a shrewd mind behind his chirpy, carefree attitude and could be a candidate to take over as India captain someday.

Though Virat Kohli has been the undisputed leader of the Indian team since he took charge from MS Dhoni in 2017 - and there seems to be no threat to his leadership -- Yuvraj has put forward an early successor to take over once Kohli's tenure comes to an end.
