Should Rishabh Pant be fast-tracked into the Indian Test team?

Exciting young prospect....don't waste time with the Jadhavs of the world...with Dhoni nearing the end of his career....Get this kid in right now.

 

Aussies played Gilchrist in LOI's as a specialist batsman when Healy was nearing his end.....South Africa play AB and DE Kock in LOI's...Eng have Billings,Duckett,Butler,Baristow all specialist keepers in the X1 in LOI's.

 

Let us not waste time...I think he is ready for the big leagues....major reason is I have seen this kid play and he has no fear or is not intimidated by reputation....Get him in before he loses that playing too much domestics.

308-run knock: Rishabh Pant creates history, becomes second wicket-keeper batsman in Ranji Trophy history to slam triple ton

:hatsoff:

 

Yep.....He is ready.

 

When you play too many domestics,you develop a fear when you get a chance finally at international level.....Pant is in epic form and has no fear right now...if he fails...he has time on his side to make a comeback...if he shows his potential in internationals....it will be a win-win either way.

Pant does NOT need to be in our LOI  side right now.

 

He has tremendous potential as a batsman and needs to develop his game  further before being  introduced in the international side.  He has played only  3 FC  matches,   4  List A  and  10 T20s.   Let  him play one full season of FC atleast and then he maybe tried in  LOIs  in the middle of 2017  if he continues to perform.

 

The careers of many budding talents have been  set-back  by early introduction, when they have not developed their games  sufficiently.

I am not advocating him to be in the test side and yes as a keeper,it will be a disaster having a 19 year old keep on spinning tracks at home or green/bouncy tracks abroad...As a Keeper he can take some time...Even Gilchrist struggled as a keeper early part of his career.

 

As a test batsman too,what you have said makes sense.

 

However for T20 and ODI's we need teh exuberance of youth and this kid is fearless the way he takes on even international bowlers.....IPL was not a flash in the pan clearly as he has the ability to decimate domestic attacks.

 

His fearlessness is what we need in the opening slot right now.

 

He won't start scoring ODI 100's right away...but even starts like 30(15) or 40(25) will be awesome in LOI's and this kid has the capacity for that

The problem that a young player without  FC experience often faces while playing international  matches  is confusion when  faced with a few failures that are bound to come sooner  or later.  They  do not have fully developed games  and do not have enough match experience to know what to do when failures come.

 

 Some even start questioning their basic game and try to make fundamental changes.  Like Ishant tried to emulate Zaheer's bowling style.  I personally feel that Ishant could have had a much more consistent career if he was introduced to international cricket a couple of years later.

 

I don't want a new talent to  suffer the same fate. Pant, being  a wicket-keeper batsman, is too important for our team's future  a few years later.

Spot on.  Introducing Pant too early risks making a Sharjeel Khan out of him.  

 

Forget KL Rahul, who just scored centuries in his debut ODI and T20, forget Rohit Sharma, or the countless others who have proven track records and abilities.  Let's have this kid open because we are so short of ODI openers.  Banjo this is not fantasy cricket.

No........

 

  •  There is no place for Pant right now. For opener 3 players are fighting- rahane, dhawan and rahul. Rahul pretty much has locked his place in 11 now depends which position. Rahane n Dhawan havent been that awfull that they can be dumped for Pant
  • Agreed Pant could be an X-factors if opens and even i see him as a future star but its too soon. As opener you should have the quality not only to face pace but pace with movement and that takes a lil time. His 300 came on very flat wkt which is eveident by a scorecard and Maharshtra wont have a single challenging bowler. Not taking any credit away from him but based on that innings its to early to decide. 
  • Pant has to time to work on skill, fitness as from next yr onwards there would be a lot of games in overseas and opening there isnt eay. We all remeber what happ to dhawan n rohit when they went to Sa n NZ and this guy has no comparison in terms of experience to them.
  • Pant also would have to lift his fielding if he wants to get in team before 2019 as with dhoni their he wont be keeping for sure.
  • Fast tracking also depends on the team's needs. Our team needed someone like Sran, PAndya so they were fast tracked but openers slot is more than filled. If there is someone who needs to be thrown in this team is kuldeep and someone in lower order who can tonk the ball, grind and bowl a few overs.

Maybe its a bit early, but he he will never be like Sharjeel Khan, Sharjeel only has one scoring shot thats his problem. Whereas Pant can score both sides off the wicket.

Let him play a full first class session or even 2 full seasons. Then he need to be inducted into A team. Then only he need to be considered in senior team.

 

Selecting him now will only spoil his career.

 

Sreyas iyer, karun nair, samson ... are the ones who need to be considered for senior team at present.

As much as i liked him, he should wait....

 

If you watched De-cock career very closely, he went thru a very bad phase earlier this year....There were occasions where he lacked confidence....Good that he worked and came back strongly (I personally think, IPL helped him tremendously).

Very few players can come back from this situation successfully.

 

So, let him play atleast one full season....and more importantly, he has to work on his fitness....he is very obese for a cricketer

People backing off from Raw Talent is the reason why whenever there is an opening we go for the apparently "seasoned domestic performers"......Vinay Kumar,Pankaj Singh,Badrinath and Kedar Jadhavs of the world will not do much on the other hand some of our memorable victories have been when a raw fast bowler came out of nowhere to announce himself on the world stage....now it is a different debate that they all got burnt out soon and that blame has to do with our bowling culture and coaching staff but this won't happen with our batsmen.

 

I don't want some seasoned utility players like Faiz Fazal etc to be given a shot when there is an opening...bring in players with X factors.

Why what is wrong with them? they have definitely won more games than Vinay Kumar,Badrinath and Pankaj Singh when they were young and raw or even after they are experienced.
