It was a surprising decision by the team management of the Ajit Agarkar-led selection panel to include the southpaw, as he is still considered one of the most exciting elements in the Whites.
While discussing India’s Test squad for the one-off match against Afghanistan, Mohammad Kaif stood in support of Rishabh Pant. The former cricketer claims that the keeper-batter did nothing wrong in the format so far.
Pant-led LSG has an underwhelming IPL 2026 season
Though Kaif explains that limited overs formats and Test cricket contain different levels of ball games. If someone is judged based on a completely different format, then it could be a wrong call.
Pant has done nothing wrong: Mohammad Kaif
“Rishabh Pant has done nothing wrong. Test matches, red-ball cricket & white-ball cricket are completely different formats. You might judge someone based on the IPL - thinking, 'Yes, he's not doing a good job as a captain, his team is losing, and he isn't scoring runs himself' - My personal belief is that, even today."
After making his debut in the format back in 2018, the Delhi-born has so far played 49 matches in the Tests, and scored 3476 runs for a batting average of 42.91, including a highest of an unbeaten 159-run innings. In the previous year, he played 7 Tests, 4 against England, a couple against South Africa, and one against Australia.
