Pant could lead Indian side in future: Former Pakistani Batsman

Former Pakistani opener Salman Butt has lavished praise on Rishabh Pant and picked him as a potential future captain for India.

Pant was the leader of Delhi Capitals in the fourteenth edition of the Indian Premier League which impressed the former players and the current teammates.

The 23-year-old has been at his destructive best with the bat for the Capitals in the last edition of the IPL.

“I am not aware of his domestic cricket records in-depth but from what I have seen in the IPL, if they handed Rishabh Pant the captaincy of Delhi Capitals, then the cricket board (BCCI) may have some plans for the future. But Kohli is still young and he is not going anywhere for the next 8-9 years,” quoted Butt.

“Along with Pant, Rohit Sharma is an outstanding captain. I really like him as a captain. Strategically and tactically, he’s a very good captain,” he stated.

The former Pakistani batsman also heaped praise Ajinkya Rahane was handling the captaincy. He also did a very nice job in Australia. Tactically, he was spot on and his decision-making was clear,” added Butt.

In the absence of Kohli, India went on to win the four-match series 2-1.
