“Is he not even a candidate for Test captaincy?”- Former cricketer raises questions on Pant not getting the captaincy in Duleep Trophy

Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced four teams for the Duleep Trophy 2024 on Wednesday, August 14. Apart from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, all senior cricketers including Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav will take part in the tournament. However, none of these senior cricketers have been named as captains. Shubman Gill, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shreyas Iyer have been handed the captaincy for the Duleep Trophy 2024. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra was particularly surprised by Pant not being named captain of any team. Pant will play under the captaincy of Abhimanyu Easwaran in this tournament, which is fine according to Chopra, but given Pant’s impact in red-ball cricket, he expects the 26-year-old to be in the race to become India’s captain in the coming days. Aakash Chopra made a big statement on Rishabh Pant becoming the captain In a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “Rishabh Pant is not the captain. He has been selected in Abhimanyu Easwaran’s team. He is playing under the captaincy of Abhimanyu Easwaran, which is absolutely fine. However, is Rishabh Pant not a candidate for Test captaincy as well? I am a little surprised.” The former cricketer further said, “I personally do not agree with this because you have seen the best form of Rishabh Pant as a Test cricketer. He is the only wicketkeeper in the history of Indian cricket to have scored centuries in South Africa, England and Australia in Tests. He said, “Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer and even Abhimanyu Easwaran are captains, but Pant is not the captain and in my opinion this is a big deal.” Let us tell you that Pant will play his first red-ball match after suffering multiple injuries following a car accident in December 2022. He is in the scheme of things for the upcoming Bangladesh Tests and the Duleep Trophy will be the perfect opportunity for him to prove his potential.

SL vs IND: “He is becoming too oversmart….”- Fans are shocked to see Rishabh Pant’s poor wicketkeeping

Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant showed poor wicketkeeping during Sri Lanka’s innings. Due to Rishabh’s mistake, India could not get the wicket of Mahish Theekshana. Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: The Indian team is on the verge of losing the third ODI match and the series against Sri Lanka. In the run chase, the team’s batting order has once again collapsed like a pack of cards. Chasing a target of 249 runs, India has lost 8 wickets at a score of 101 runs. Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant’s wicketkeeping remains a topic of discussion on social media. Rishabh Pant showed poor wicketkeeping during Sri Lanka’s innings. Due to Rishabh’s mistake, India could not get the wicket of Mahish Teekshana. Rishabh Pant took more time to drop the bails The 49th over of Sri Lanka’s innings was bowled by Kuldeep Yadav. On the last ball of the over, Mahish Theekshana tried to play a shot by moving ahead of the crease, but he missed the ball. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant had a chance to stump Theekshana out because he had moved too far ahead of the crease. But Pant took too much time to drop the bails. The onfield umpire took the help of the third umpire. Mahish Teekshana thought he was out, and he was walking back to the pavilion even before the third umpire’s decision. Replays showed that Mahish Teekshana had returned to the crease before the stumping took place, so the third umpire declared Teekshana not out. See here the fans’ reactions on Rishabh Pant’s wicketkeeping- What the hell!!!! Theekshana was on half pitch and Rishabh Pant couldn’t get him stump out, man this guy is very very slow and is not even 10% of KL Rahul in wicket keeping….

Pant played his last ODI for India on 30 November 2022 against New Zealand at Hagley Oval. Rishabh Pant replaced KL Rahul in the playing 11 of the third ODI against Sri Lanka The Indian cricket team is currently playing a three-match ODI series in Sri Lanka tour. After poor performance in the first two matches, the management has made major changes in the playing 11 of the third ODI. Rishabh Pant was not a part of the first two matches, in the third ODI he has got a place in the team in place of KL Rahul.

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.

IND vs SL 3rd ODI: These 3 big changes are decided in Team India for the third ODI

IND vs SL 3rd ODI: The third and final match of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on August 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Gautam Gambhir, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer (Source X) IND vs SL 3rd ODI: The third and final match of the ODI series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on August 7 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The Indian team has suffered a setback in this series and now they will have to win the last match at all costs to end the series on a draw. Therefore, Team India needs to correct the mistakes made in the last two matches and then enter the field. The repair work has to be done by making changes in the team’s playing eleven. Accordingly, there is every possibility of 3 big changes in Team India for the third ODI match. Riyan Parag replaces Shivam Dubey The inclusion of Riyan Parag in the playing eleven in place of Shivam Dubey in the third ODI will strengthen the team. This is because the Colombo pitch helps spin bowlers. Dubey has performed well in the past as well, but considering the circumstances, Riyan Parag may be a better option for the third ODI. Apart from this, Riyan Parag can also be selected in the team in place of Shreyas Iyer. Rishabh Pant may replace KL Rahul Wicketkeeper batsman KL Rahul has disappointed in this ODI series. KL Rahul could not contribute much in both the matches of the series. Rahul scored 31 runs in the first ODI but failed to lead the team to victory. In the second match, Rahul faced only two balls and got out. In such a situation, Rishabh Pant can get a chance as a wicketkeeper in place of KL Rahul. With Rishabh coming into the team, the selection of left-handed batsmen in the playing 11 will also increase. It is necessary to give a chance to Harshit Rana There is not much help for fast bowlers in Colombo, apart from this Arshdeep Singh and Mohammad Siraj have managed to take two wickets each so far. In such a situation, it could be a good plan to include young fast and aggressive bowler Harshit Rana in the team in his place. Harshit Rana caught everyone’s attention with his good cutter and slow bowling in the IPL. Not only this, Rana can also contribute through batting. In such a situation, there is every possibility that Rana will enter the team for the third match. See Also: IND vs SL Dream11 Prediction 3rd ODI in Hindi

“If he improves his approach then in T20…”- Former cricketer gave such a statement about KL Rahul

KL Rahul played his last match for India in the T20 format during the T20 World Cup 2022. KL Rahul (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Indian player KL Rahul was not a part of the champion Indian team of T20 World Cup 2024. KL Rahul played the last match for India in this format during the T20 World Cup 2022. Rahul also did not get a chance in the T20 series of Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka tour, which clearly indicates that the management no longer sees him as a T20 format player. However, former Indian player Dodda Ganesh believes that KL Rahul can still make a comeback in the shortest format of the game. However, Rahul needs to change his intent. He can still make a comeback if he improves his approach- Dodda Ganesh Dodda Ganesh tweeted on social media and wrote, If KL Rahul improves his approach in T20, he can still make a comeback and perform well for the Indian team in T20 Internationals. He is such a good talent that he will be missed for a long time. If KL Rahul rectifies his approach in the T20s he can still make a comeback and have a great stint with the Indian team in the T20Is. He is too good a talent to be missing out for long #DoddaMathu #SLvIND — Dodda Ganesh दौद्ग गानेश (@doddaganesha) August 1, 2024 KL Rahul scored 520 runs at a strike rate of 136.13 while playing for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2024.

But it is a good problem and I want such problems. We will decide tomorrow.
