Sidhoni Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 2 minutes ago, Gambit said: The time for Pant to play for India has come. Dhoni can always play as a specialist batsman (giving him moar "freedom to play") in CT and Pant can keep. I was thinking Pant should play as specialist batsman and Dhoni should keep. Haven't seen how good Pant is with the gloves. Bleed-Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhoni has done it in few matches in T20s though, when Parthiv was at CSK. Even in WT20 2007 when Karthik was keeper against SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCCI Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 If Pant was given the chance to open throughout IPL,it would have been easier to judge him and take him to CT as an opener.But but Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maniac Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I was criticized for saying nair fluked his way to a 300.... obviously a guy who gets a 300 in any format is good but there are better and more deserving players than him right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
express bowling Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Pant's ability to hit genuine pace for 6s at will, would hold him in good stead in the future. He has sufficient time to play pace. He is a good keeper too....as we have been seeing in this IPL. He needs to be in our CT 17 team as keeper-batsman.

Checks of the boxes- time to play shots, hand eye co ordination.... needs to work on his defense but obviously t20 is not the place for that... plays front of the wicket a lot too not a bad thing but when he plays tests especially in sc needs to play late too... don't think have seen a lot of that. but overall one of the most exciting batting talents in the last 5 years express bowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but never looked convincing... if a international 300 can't give you confidence to go to a next level than you are not good enough. looks good uncomfortable against quality pace.

Plays the short ball decently but is a compulsive puller. Needs to change that and learn to leave some bouncers. But he is not hurried by pace or bounce.
