MSK Prasad, the chief national selector of the Indian team, believes that Rishabh Pant is exerting undue pressure on himself by considering himself as the successor of MS Dhoni. Perhaps MSK Prasad, who last announced the Indian team against the West Indies, said that a player struggling with bad form should resort to his incredible talent to make a comeback. Until recently, Rishabh Pant was the first choice for wicketkeeping in all three formats, but he has failed to achieve form for quite some time. Pant could not make it to the final XI of the Test team after veteran Wriddhiman Saha returned from injury. He was not batting even in the limited overs format and he performed poorly behind the wicket.

MSK Prasad said, "I agree with Rohit Sharma and Sunil Gavaskar who are leaving Pant alone. Pant is going through a bad phase. He needs some good innings to return to the rhythm. The team I have a discussion with the management and they said that they are trying their best to get the best out of Pant. As far as pressure is concerned, Pant must know that Remains under pressure at this stage of the El and takes withstand this pressure causes the real champion. Examples of players in front of them Virat and Rohit. "

Prasad became the chief selector of the Indian team in 2016. He said that Pant should never try to become Dhoni's successor. He said, "Pant should also realize that he has his own identity and should never compare himself to Dhoni, but I think his mind is going on like that."

He added, "MS Dhoni has maintained a good reputation by playing in international cricket for a long time. His confidence stems from his great performance both domestically and internationally. When someone starts comparing himself to a great person, he Puts undue pressure on himself. Personally I feel that there is no dearth of talent in Pant. But he should have confidence in his ability."
