Rishabh Pant was all over the place, from hoardings and cutouts to advertisements and promotions; he was riding high. Team India is currently in England for a 5-match T20I series and a 3-match ODI series. But where is Rishabh now?
“Rishabh Pant is an outstanding cricketer. He is a match-winner, game-changer, and X-factor in red-ball cricket, but in white-ball cricket, he has to earn his stripes. A little wrong is happening in ODI cricket because he didn't get enough chances, and you dropped him despite that,” the former batter said on his YouTube channel ‘Aakash Chopra’.
Aakash Chopra says playing conditions are not an excuse
Many believe that the conditions in England are not suitable for Rishabh's batting style. Aakash Chopra observed that there is not much difference between the playing conditions in England and the playing combinations in India.
The left-hander had to endure back-to-back below-par seasons in the Indian Premier League, which might have harmed his selection. Chopra stated that because of the poor run in the IPL seasons, Rishabh Pant is currently far away from the T20I set-up.
There are multiple talents to replace Rishabh Pant
The increased number of talents has also become a barrier for Rishabh. Chopra points out that only a few years back, the team management had to depend on Rishabh Pant as there was no other choice than KL Rahul. The present scenario is different. Multiple other keeper-batters have claimed the ranks and are either playing for Team India or waiting for their turns.
“You can't even blame the selectors because there are many options now. If we had asked the same thing five years ago, we would have said what would happen if Rishabh isn't there, as we would have to get KL Rahul to keep. Today, Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan are there, and Dhruv Jurel is there behind them,” Aakash Chopra highlighted.
