Yuvraj also said that one should refrain from comparing Pant with Dhoni.
Gilchrist, however, did urge the youngster to learn from Dhoni's phenomenal career during which he led India to two world titles.
Laxman said Pant is still India's first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman ahead of Sanju for next year's T20 World Cup but veteran M S Dhoni is also very much in the picture.
Samson had made his comeback to the national team for Bangladesh T20Is after four long years and was expected to be played as a specialist batsman.
Pant, whose shot selection has come under the scanner on several occasions, became the centre of unwanted attention due to his poor glovework in the second T20I against Bangladesh in Rajkot.
Ponting also believes Pant will score more Test centuries than his predecessor Dhoni.
India declared their first innings closed on 622 for seven after tea on the second day of the fourth and final Test.
Pant became the first Indian wicketkeeper to hit a Test hundred on Australian soil.
Pant posted a picture with Isha Negi and wrote: "I just want to make you happy because you are the reason I am so happy''.
Rishabh Pant was named the International Cricket Council's Emerging Player of the Year in the world body's annual awards.
