Rohit and Pant have many similarities…
IPL 2022 Cricket Latest: Ponting said that there are many similarities between Pant and record five-time champion Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma. He has seen Rohit’s ascending career in which he became the captain with the most trophies for his team. He said that I have not thought much about it though. But I think they are really similar. When Rohit started captaining Mumbai, he was very young and had almost started his international career. He will probably be 23-24 years old and so is Rishabh’s age.
