"Better than Rishabh Pant", a fan commented.

"Must've learned from Dhoni", another fan said in Hindi.

Rishabh Pant has been facing a lot of criticism for some of his recent performances.

Ahead of the last Twenty20 International against Bangladesh, India's stand-in skipper Rohit Sharma even urged the fans to keep their eyes off Rishabh Pant.

"You know there is a lot of talk happening about Rishabh Pant every day, every minute. I just feel that he needs to be allowed to do what he wants to do on the field. I would request everyone to keep their eyes away from Rishabh Pant for a while," Rohit had said.

In the ongoing Test match against Bangladesh, India bowled out the visitors for just 150 runs.

Mohammed Shami picked up three wickets while Ashwin, Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav picked up two wickets each.
