It is very unfair to compare Rishabh Pant & Dhoni: India's Bowling Coach

India's Bowling Coach Bharat Arun said It is very unfair to compare Rishabh Pant & Dhoni at this particular moment. MS Dhoni is huge, is a legend. He has worked behind the stumps & is exemplary. When Virat needs somebody to talk to, he is a huge influence on the team at that point in time.

Bowling Coach further added that We would also like to try out different combinations not necessarily that those are the combinations that are going to be in the World Cup. But we would like to know how people perform in different situations. So we can pick a better & balanced team for the World Cup.

Bharat Arun on miss-stumping and some chances that Pant couldn't convert says, "So if at all we need to make any mistakes, I think it is going to be now rather than going into the World Cup thinking of different combinations. We would be extremely sure about what we want. before we go into a major tournament."

Arun was all praise for all-rounder Vijay Shankar, who has become a serious contender for a World Cup spot with some standout performances with both bat and ball.

"Vijay has gained in confidence. He has batted brilliantly at (different) positions given to him. He batted at number four, six and seven. The confidence he has gained with his batting is rubbing onto his bowling as well. He was bowling at 120-125, now he is touching 130. He is a huge positive for the team," added Arun.
