#1 Rishabh Pant:

Team India needs to groom a wicket keeper in the limited overs format. While M.S. Dhoni continues to impress one and all with his glove work, it is not long before he might call it a day in international cricket.
The 20-year-old left-hander Pant should be groomed by the selectors as the Indian wicket keeper at least in the 20 over format. Pant is an aggressive batsman who can make a difference in the first 6 overs a of T20 game with field restrictions in place. In the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Pant scored the second fastest hundred in T20 cricket. He smashed 116 runs of just 32 balls against Himachal Pradesh.
Pant should be definitely drafted in the Indian T20 squad at the earliest as he will be under the guidance of M.S. Dhoni under whom Pant can learn a lot. The Delhi batsman should be given a consistent run in T20 cricket so that he is ready to take on the wicket keeping duties from M.S. Dhoni when he retires.
