The poor form of Indian team wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant continues. Pant, who started the final game of the T20 series against New Zealand, returned to the arena after scoring just 11 runs. The Indian team is giving Pant frequent chances in T20 International. However, he has not yet been able to capitalize on these opportunities. In such a situation, looking at his faults, he may be dropped from Team India’s T20 squad.
Rishabh Pant got a chance to be an opening batsman in the T20 series against New Zealand. However, he was unable to take advantage of this opportunity. Pant, who had just started in the second game of T20, scored only 6 runs. At the same time, in the third game of T20, he returned to the arena after scoring just 11 runs. This poor form from Pant constantly raises questions about selecting him in T20.
If we look at Pant’s last four T20 innings, he has scored 6,3,6,11 runs in the last four innings. Looking at his performance in T20 in the year 2022, he has scored 364 runs in 21 innings this year at an average of just 21.21. Pant’s poor form remains a big concern for the India team.
If batsman Rishabh Pant continues to miss like this, then India’s team may soon feature Sanju Samson. Sanju is considered a very explosive T20 hitter. Though he has so far failed to carve out a place in Team India’s playing XI. After Pant’s poor performance, the fans have also continuously demanded to include Sanju in the starting eleven. Now it remains to be seen when this fan demand will be met and when Sanju will finally get a chance.
