3 Players Who Need To Step Up in Dhoni's Absence In The Upcoming T20I Series

#1 Rishabh Pant

England v India: Specsavers 5th Test - Day Five

The time has finally come for the 21-year old from Uttarakhand, as he has been tearing up the opposition bowlers with every opportunity he has got. Although he had a couple of poor outings against West Indies in the recently concluded ODI series, his worth cannot be undermined.

Highly regarded by some as the successor to Dhoni himself, Pant has surely proven that he has the temperament to be the next big star in Indian cricket. Having had an amazing IPL, scoring 684 runs at a strike-rate of 173.6, he surely is a star in the making.

This tour will be an example for how much Rishabh and Shreys can shoulder the responsibility like they did for their IPL franchise, and to make themselves a regular fixture for India in both ODI's and T20's. With Pant already having had Test match experience, it'll show him how important it is to play according to what the situation is at stake.
