The comparisons with the iconic Mahendra Singh Dhoni are flattering but young Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant on Thursday said he wants to carve his own identity in the game after playing a key role in the side`s historic Test series win in Australia. Pant is often compared with the two-time World Cup-winning former captain and wicketkeeper-batsman, who retired last year after a glorious international career.

"You feel amazing when you are compared to someone like MS Dhoni and you compare me with him," Pant told reporters after landing here from Australia where his match and series-winning effort of 89 in the second innings of the fourth Test won him all-round praise. "It`s amazing but I don`t want to be compared with anyone, I want to make myself as a name in Indian cricket, because it`s not good compare some legend with some youngster." The 23-year-old also scored a 97 in the drawn third Test in Sydney.
