The Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2022 to be played in Australia has been announced. Both Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik have been selected as wicketkeepers in this Indian team, but the question is who will be part of the playing XI during the T20 World Cup. Veterans have their own opinion on this question. In fact, earlier in the 2022 Asian Cup, the Indian team management had given preference to Rishabh Pant over Dinesh Karthik. Now on the answer to this question, the former Indian player Sunil Gavaskar has given a great statement.
Sunil Gavaskar considers the decision to pick Rishabh Pant apart from Dinesh Karthik in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2022. He also says that both Dinesh Karthik’s and Rishabh Pant’s players should get a chance in the team playing XI. The former Indian player said Rishabh Pant at No. 5, Hardik Pandya at No. 6 and Dinesh Karthik at No. 7 should all get a chance to bat. He said that if you don’t take risks, how are you going to win the match? To win the game, in addition to hitting, one must not avoid taking risks in other departments as well.
Sunil Gavaskar said that I have no first choice between Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik. We must choose our best XI according to the situation and the team in front. He said there is no such thing as a first-choice XI for every situation. This decision must be made by looking at the situation and the opposing team. It is worth noting that Dinesh Karthik has returned to the Indian team after a brilliant performance in IPL 2022. Also, he has finished innings in many matches. However, Dinesh Karthik did not get enough chances at the 2022 Asian Cup.
