Know why it has become necessary for the Indian team to include Rishabh Pant in its playing XI in the third ODI against Sri Lanka

The third and final ODI between Sri Lanka and India is scheduled to be played on July 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter X) The third and final ODI match between Sri Lanka and India is to be played on July 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. So far, two matches have been played between these two teams in this ODI series. The first match ended in a tie between the two teams while the second was won by Sri Lanka by 32 runs. The most surprising thing in both these matches was that at one time India was in a very strong position but due to the poor performance of the middle order, the team failed to win both the matches. Now India will definitely want to win the third match between these two teams. It can also be expected that the excellent wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant may return to India’s playing XI. Rishabh Pant’s performance has been very good in international ODI cricket and he can be seen playing in the third ODI in place of KL Rahul. Talking about KL Rahul, he batted very poorly in the second ODI and was out without opening his account. Today we tell you the three main reasons why Rishabh Pant should play for the Indian team in the third ODI against Sri Lanka. 1- Rishabh Pant can prove to be very lethal against spinners Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter X) So far in the two ODI matches, it has been seen that Sri Lanka’s spinners have constantly put pressure on the Indian batsmen. Spinners are getting a lot of help on the Colombo pitch. The host also knows this very well and is playing with 4 specialist spinners. So far, apart from Rohit Sharma, no other Indian batsman has been able to put pressure on Sri Lankan spinners. If Rishabh Pant is seen playing in the third ODI, then Sri Lankan spinners may face a lot of problems. This is also because Rishabh Pant’s performance has always been very good against spinners. Rishabh Pant’s strike rate in the middle overs against spinners in ODIs is 105.

Why is Virat Kohli not able to score big in the ODI series against Sri Lanka? Former Pakistani player made a big revelation

Virat Kohli scored 24 runs in the first ODI while he scored 14 runs in the second match. Virat Kohli and Basit Ali (Pic Source-X) Virat Kohli, the best batsman of the Indian team, is currently participating in the 3-match ODI series against Sri Lanka. So far, two matches have been played in this ODI series and Virat Kohli’s performance has been very poor in both. Virat Kohli scored 24 runs in the first ODI while he scored 14 runs in the second match. In both these matches, Virat Kohli was seen having a lot of trouble against the spinners. It has been seen very rarely that Virat Kohli has had trouble against the spinners but in this series, the experienced batsman has failed to perform well. The most surprising thing about Virat Kohli was that he was LBW in both these matches. Recently, former Pakistani cricketer Basit Ali has put forth his opinion on Virat Kohli’s poor form. Basit Ali said on his official YouTube channel, ‘Virat Kohli, who is the world’s number 1 batsman, has been LBW twice. If this had happened to Shreyas Iyer or Shivam Dubey, it would have been understandable, but Virat Kohli is Virat Kohli. This means that he is not practicing.’ Former Pakistani player made a big statement about India’s batting lineup Basit Ali further said, ‘It does not seem at all that this is the same batting lineup that ruled the world. I think Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have not even practiced yet. These people have come without practice. I don’t understand at all what Shreyas Iyer will do after such a performance. I think now the time has come that Rishabh Pant, Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh should come back to the Indian team. India’s ODI domestic tournament will be very important for Gautam Gambhir as the head coach can take some players from there as well.
