Indian batsman Dinesh Karthik has disappointed a lot in the ongoing T20 World Cup tournament. At the same time, Rishabh Pant got a chance to play in the last match of the Super-12 round against Zimbabwe, while Dinesh Karthik did not get a place in the team. Actually, Dinesh Karthik has been able to score only 14 runs in 4 matches of the T20 World Cup 2022. The Indian team has reached the semi-finals, but will Dinesh Karthik play in the semi-finals or Rishabh Pant… Now, the former coach of the team Indian, Ravi Shastri, has given a great statement about it.
Former India manager Ravi Shastri believes Rishabh Pant should be given a chance in place of Dinesh Karthik in the semi-final match against England. He also said that Rishabh Pant is the X factor, Dinesh Karthik is a good team player, but in view of the bowling attack from teams like England and New Zealand, Rishabh Pant is a better option. Ravi Shastri further said that if Rishabh Pant plays, then the shortage of the left-handed batsman will also be covered.
Ravi Shastri says Rishabh Pant’s performance against England has been fantastic. Because of this, Rishabh Pant should have a chance in an important match like the semi-final. He said that if you are playing a match in Adelaide then you have to be aware that the cap there is small. Instead, if a batsman like Rishabh Pant plays, then England’s bowling can be tackled better. At the same time, he said it’s not right to have too many right-handed hitters on any team.
