The reason why Yuvraj Singh appreciated Rishabh Pant is because he plays like him and hit sixes without having any pressure. Earlier also Rishabh Pant has been compared with Yuvraj Singh but the player always took away himself from these comparisons.
Rishabh Pant was considered the best option for World Cup team squad but when he didn't get the place in the team, the cricket fans and experts were quite disappointed with it. The selectors chose experience over Rishabh Pant's new form and took Dinesh Karthik in the team.
