Rishabh Pant: Rishabh Pant has returned to the Indian team after almost 1.5 years. Pant was part of the Bangladesh tour in December 2022. After this series, Pant became a victim of a road accident. Due to the accident, he remained away from cricket action for 15 months. However, now he has returned to the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2024. After the World Cup, Team India will play a 2 Test match series against Bangladesh. In such a situation, Pant's inclusion in this series is considered certain. But Rishabh's presence may eliminate two Indian wicketkeeper-batsmen from the team.

Rishabh Pant will get a chance!

  • In September 2024, Bangladesh will come to play a 2 Test match series on Indian soil, in such a situation, Pant's (Rishabh Pant) presence in this series is considered certain.
  • Actually, when Pant had an accident, two wicketkeeper batsmen got enough opportunities in his place. But these batsmen could not perform as impressively as Pant.
  • In such a situation, when Pant is fully fit, he will also make a comeback in the Test format. In this sense, the career of 2 young wicketkeeper-batsmen of India may end.

The career of these 2 players may end

  • In Pant's absence, KS Bharat and Dhruv Jurel got a chance in the Indian Test team.
    Bharat first got a chance in the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023 and later in the World Test Championship 2023 final.
  • But they could not do much. After this, Dhruv Jurel got a chance in the Indian team in the 5 match Test series against England. Jurel also could not impress much. Now after Pant's return, it is very difficult for these two players to get a chance in Tests.

How was the performance of both?

  • In Pant's absence, KS Bharat got a chance to play in 7 Test matches.
    During this period, he scored 221 runs at an average of 20.09.
  • During this period, not a single century or half-century came from his bat. Although Jurel has scored 190 runs in 3 matches, Jurel's performance is quite pale in comparison to Pant.
