Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan believes that Ishan has grabbed his chance with both hands and has worked his way back into the team's plans, but he feels Rishabh Pant should not be forgotten and still can make a strong comeback if he returns to top form.
Irfan Pathan believes that one of the unsung heroes of Indian cricket KL Rahul remains India's first-choice wicketkeeper-batter in the 50-over format because of his consistency and ability to bat in different positions. He also feels Ishan is an ideal backup option because of his attacking style and flexibility at the top of the order.
Irfan Pathan hails Indian selectors' smart selection
Irfan Pathan said on JioHotstar: “KL Rahul is India’s first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman in ODIs. He has done well at numbers five and six. He is versatile. As a backup, the selectors have brought in Ishan Kishan."
Pathan urges selectors not to completely ignore Rishabh Pant
As for Rishabh Pant, the left-handed batter has not played an ODI match for almost two years, making things really uncertain, especially because of his poor form. Even Rishabh Pant was recently slammed for repeated mistakes in Tests.
Pathan signed off by saying, “Now, about Rishabh Pant, my suggestion to the selectors is not to completely ignore him. Yes, he has fallen behind in white-ball cricket. His form has not been great. But look at Ishan Kishan. He was out of the team too, but he used that as motivation. He played domestic cricket, performed well, and led Jharkhand to a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy win as captain.”
Notably, the three-match ODI series opener between India and Afghanistan is yet to begin in Dharamshala because of the persistent showers. If the match could not start before 6:30 PM, the match official would take the call with the second ODI scheduled for June 17 in Lucknow.
