Rishabh Pant spotted hanging out with MS Dhoni following India’s 2-0 Test series win in Bangladesh – Firstcricket News, Firstpost

Rishabh Pant is on a break after starring in India’s 2-0 Test series win over Bangladesh, the team’s final assignment of the year, catching up with World Cup-winning former India captain MS Dhoni during his time away from the field.

The two were seen hanging out together at Dubai’s SUSHISAMBA restaurant in a post shared by Dhoni’s wife Sakshi on Instagram.

“To many more EPIC nights !” read the caption on the post that has since garnered more than two lakh likes and thousands of comments, including a particularly cheeky one that read: “Pant selected over Samson everywhere”.

Pant played a key role in India’s three-wicket victory in the second Test against Bangladesh at Dhaka’s Sher-e-Bangla Stadium, producing an attacking 93 off 104 balls and sharing a 159-run fifth wicket stand with Shreyas Iyer that helped the visitors post 314 and collect an 87-run first innings lead.

India would bowl Bangladesh out for 231 in their second innings, but would lose wickets in a heap during their chase of the 145-run target, getting reduced to 74/7 at one stage before being rescued by an unbroken eighth-wicket stand between Iyer and Ravichandran Ashwin worth 71.

He had produced an even more aggressive 45-ball 46 in the first Test at Chattogram, collecting six fours and two maximums along the way.
