Rishabh Pant was involved in a short training session with Kiran More in order to remove the minor chinks in his armour. The Shreyas Iyer-led Delhi Capitals take on Rohit Sharma’s Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday in what promises to be an entertaining encounter.

The 2019 season of the Indian Premier League kicks off on March 23 as defending champions Chennai Super Kings take on Royal Challengers Bangalore at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Saturday. Undoubtedly, the highlight of day two will be the mouth-watering clash between newly-renamed Delhi Capitals and Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians which will take place at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

Ahead of the tie, Capital’s cricketer and India wicket-keeper, Rishabh Pant, was engaged in a one-on-one training session with former India keeper - Kiran More - who acts as a wicket-keeping consultant for the Mumbai Indians.

Earlier, Pant faced unfair criticism for his performance behind the wickets during the recently-concluded ODI series against Australia. More has worked with 21-year-old Pant, who made his Test debut for the Indian team against England last year and also featured in the historic Test series win against Australia in December.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians also posted on their official Twitter handle a video of their new recruit - Yuvraj Singh - having a chat with former India skipper Sourav Ganguly who was appointed as an advisor for the Delhi-based franchise this season.
