NEW DELHI: After winning the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai, India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant revealed that since childhood he had only one dream of playing for India which came to reality in 2017 after much hard work and perseverance.

Pant, who was part of India's Champions Trophy-winning squad, did not get a chance to play a single game in the tournament as KL Rahul was picked ahead of him.

"Earlier, quite a few players played these shots. I have seen old videos of Mahi bhai (MS Dhoni), and he, too, has played the lap shot. But percentage-wise, I think they used to do it less. The game is changing now - field placements are different, and players are adapting.
