SecondSlip Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 With Kedar Jadhav likely to be ruled out of the World Cup, this is a great chance for Rishabh Pant to put his hand up and show that he is ready to board the flight to England as his replacement! Rishabh should use this opportunity to break down the selectors door by playing a few match winning innings in the IPL knockouts. If he is successful, it will show the selectors that Pant is a big game player and can be relied upon for the World Cup. They will select him for the tournament. All 3 of his opposition teams have decent bowling attacks that can be compared to some international teams: SRH - Rashid, Nabi, Bhuvi, Khaleel CSK - Tahir, Jadeja, D Chahar, Bravo MI - Malinga, Bumrah, McCleanaghan, Hardik, Krunal, R Chahar If Rishabh can manage at least 2 match winning knocks against the bowling attacks mentioned above, he will be doing no harm to his chances on getting selected for the World Cup. He needs to take this golden opportunity with both hands and not throw his wicket away unnecessarily! All up to you Pant! nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 He will come in only if karthik or Dhoni is injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I6MTW Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Rayudu scored 40 today. That is enough for the selectors. sandsaims and nevada 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Rayudu official biriyani supplier will get the heart breaking nod if Jadhav misses out. Jadhav is like a glass even if he retains his fitness it is only a matter of time before he breaks down again nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowl_out Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Very likely that the selectors will go with Rayudu ahead of Pant nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forward Defence Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Pant destroyed the same SRH attack last year. Must achieve something similar to catch the selector's eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) We've got to have a sixth bowling option. We just can't trust Pandya to bowl 10 overs. That will be a travesty and he will be easily taken for atleast 80-90 runs against decent teams. And looking at how Shankar is playing, I don't think Kohli will pick him in the playing 11. This is going to be one long world cup for us, if Pant gets picked Edited May 8, 2019 by Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pant is fun to watch when in full flow but makes blunders in shot selection far too often. There is no doubt whatsoever about his ability, it's his mental game that needs massive improvement.

He has been given enough chances for more than a decade. And Rayudu, lol. I'd rather have karthik than him. He will fail against quality pace attacks, and when required to up the RR, he cannot do so. At least Pant will try to score. We already have enough players to consolidate. AuxiliA and Jimmy Cliff 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vijy Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Pant has shown: (a) he has the destructive power and (b) lacks finishing skills. If he does not learn in the next 2-3 yrs, it will be a huge waste of talent. even in Tests, when he takes his time and settles down, he plays very well. however, there is this annoying tendency to play death or glory shots at wrong times.
