Rishabh Pant has a very bright future: Former India wicket-keeper Farokh Engineer

Former India wicketkeeper-batsman Farokh Engineer thinks Virat Kohli has the potential to go on and be better than Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar.

He also said Rishab Pant's playing style reminds him of himself.

Pant made his Test debut in the third match of the five-game series in England replacing out-of-form first choice Dinesh Karthik and had a good game behind the stumps.

"My first three balls in Test cricket were three fours but out of sheer nervousness. Pant hit the second ball for a six and I am not sure, I have got to ask him whether it was out of nerves or confidence. If it is confidence, then hats off to him," said Engineer.

"Rishabh Pant also reminded me of my younger days too. Pant has a very very bright future," the 80-year-old Engineer told.
