Comparisons between MS Dhoni&nbsp;and Rishabh&nbsp;Pant started way back when the Delhi wicket-keeper made waves in International cricket but most remained from the fans and not those who played and ran the game.

Speaking to ABP&nbsp;Bengali, Dada said that Pant is as good as Dhoni&nbsp;and he has improved the&nbsp;wicketkeeping skills. Dada added that Pant is capable of winning matches whether it's Tests, ODIs&nbsp;or T20s and can change the momentum in a matter of minutes.&nbsp;&nbsp;
