Yes, he can replace dhawan but having Pant in the team puts extra scrutiny on Dhoni and his performance. That is too close for comfort for him .

Pant can replace either or both . We know how kohli feels about both and hence Pant is a danger for them.

Virat is getting away dropping kl , vj , rahane and bhuvi for his friends , some of these are criminal . You think pant if atll becomes a threat cant be handled , he scores 25 ball 50 they can drop him the next match and give some stupid excuse of team balance or experience or rotation and no one will question . Virat can make or break anyones career at this point , even if some one of tendulkars calibre comes along he will disappear from radar without anyone noticing .

Not as low life and hypocrite as Tendulkar though. Dhoni left Test cricket at age 33 because he knew that Indian test team should start rebuilding for future and the captain gets a good cushion of playing easier series.

If a captain/coach/mgmt picks DK and Parthiv for Tests as well as LOIs, its pretty obvious what they are wishing to do. Pant has potential which will be proven only when he can win the job from DK or Parthiv and Kohli does not even trust him for backup.

If he is so worried abt future, y dont he retire from t20?

Why do you think dk gets selected as dhoni's backup instead of a pant or a kishan ?

 

You are right about kohli being all powerful. In case of Poor Pant,it is a double whammy. Both kohli and dhoni don't want him which is a shame.

 

That is what everyone is saying. Pant ( or any other younger keeper) is not selected because kohli and dhoni keep him out. Pant is a bigger threat because he is a charismatic  player.....a probable star. He may not be the most talented but has enough of it + star power .

But how and why will Dhoni's retirement be the reason for Pant or anyone else's career. He left captaincy since more than a yr in LOIs and 3 yrs in Tests. He is just becoming a soft target because of people hating on him here. Just because nobody has guts to say anything against Captain/Coach and their favs, they will always look for soft targets elsewhere. Today its Dhoni, tomorrow it will be someone else. Same thing for people on ICF, its a fact nobody can do anything about Kohli. Everyone will have to accept it and move on. Since Dhoni is not in Test team, there are no soft targets. Pant is not even considered as 3rd or 4th keeper in Test matches. That shows what they really want.

So why is pp a replacement for saha in tests ? Dhoni is not competing for that spot.

Am saying there is general discomfort in giving a youngster a chance for any spot in any format . Pants case is no different . Yes indirectly the seniors do benefit , but the blame is on virat though. It's definitely his call in the end .

Ya that was quite evident while he was hitting runs and won recently concluded Syed mustak Ali t20 for Jharkhand.

He was getting ready for tougher competition in SA :yess: He would not be making the same mistake as Virat to play easy series right before tough SA tour. :phehe:

I am against the idea of leaving out Raina

 

Not picking Pant is wrong, but leaving out Raina is equally wrong since Raina has been our best T20 player for a long long time and even in his last series he scored runs when Kohli and Robert Sharma  and co were struggling.

 

Raina is a must for any Indian t20 sidee.

 

Raina did not take Pant’s slot.

 

Pant slot should be made anyway instead of picking guys like Karthik, Rahane etc.

 

 

Lets not mix the two.  Raina is very much needed for Indian t20s.
