The Indian cricket team has entered the post Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma era in T20 cricket after the T20 World Cup. After winning the T20 World Cup 2024, both these players have decided to quit the shortest format of the game.

So after the departure of these two, two places have become vacant in India’s T20 team, for which there are many contenders. However, there is a lot of discussion these days about Rishabh Pant, who played at number 3 in the last T20 World Cup, whether he should remain in the T20 team, because with the in-form Sanju Samson, the rest of the wicketkeepers are sitting out.

Today in this article, we will try to know this by telling about three such reasons, so that you can understand whether Rishabh Pant should continue in T20 International cricket for the Indian cricket team or not? So let’s start:

1. Disappointing overall and recent numbers

If we look at Rishabh Pant’s overall and recent T20 cricket statistics, we will find that he is not up to expectations. Also, Pant gets more opportunities in Team India than other wicketkeeper batsmen. Pant has an average of 23.21 and a strike rate of 127.32 in 75 T20 matches for Team India.

So his batting average from number 2 to number 6 is 28. Also, his batting average at number three is 27.50 and strike rate is 131.37. In such a situation, you can guess whether he should remain in the T20 team or not.
