Team India's wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who returned to the international cricket team after a long time through the T20 World Cup, may be out of Team India. Due to his excellent performance in the Indian Premier League, Pant was given a place in the Team India squad selected for the T20 World Cup. However, Pant's performance with the bat has been very poor throughout the World Cup. In such a situation, Pant may be dropped from Team India after Rohit Sharma's retirement.

Rishabh Pant's performance during T20 World Cup

During the T20 World Cup, wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has participated in a total of 8 matches for Team India and during this time he has been able to score only 171 runs at a strike rate of about 128 and a batting average of 24. Rishabh Pant's best score during the T20 World Cup has been 42 runs. Rishabh Pant has been able to hit only 6 sixes during the entire tournament. At the same time, in the Indian Premier League, Pant scored 446 runs in 13 matches at a batting average of over 40 and a strike rate of over 155.

This player got a chance in place of Rishabh Pant

After Rohit Sharma's retirement, BCCI can appoint Hardik Pandya as the new captain of T20I. In such a situation, if Hardik Pandya's name is announced, then Hardik Pandya can give a chance to his Mumbai Indians friend Ishan Kishan as a wicketkeeper batsman in Team India instead of Rishabh Pant. In such a situation, Pant can play only for the Test and ODI team.
