SK_IH Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I guess just like most of the fans here, the Indian TM (which in most instances have been proven to be vacuous) have over estimated the abilities of Pant and hence putting pressure by giving him no.4 spot. Pant is no once in a generation talent and in my opinion may be better served in opening slot for ODIs. However his place in T20Is should not be questioned at all, he is one of very few good T20 hitters from India. Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Yesterday Lara started talking about pants weakness which SA could target. An over later Pant got out exactly how he described. Link to comment

rkt.india Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Pant is batting at the wrong number. for Delhi Capitals, he is the main guy. For India, he is a side kick. He should be batting at 6 and move up slowly. Edited September 23, 2019 by rkt.india Switchblade 1 Link to comment

kirkutfan Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Why not have guys like Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson replace some of those top 3 players. Like the bowlers, our top bats should be rotated around and rested too. Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment

We continued with Dhoni for 11 years after t20 WC win. We continued with Yuvraj for 5 years before he started delivering. It's the responsibility of seniors to put youngsters in comfort and support them. No youngster will perform like a veteran no matter who you bring in. nevada, Ankit_sharma03 and bahubali 3 Link to comment

We can try maybe 1 of Samson or Kishan in 14 T20Is, but if we dropped Pant today and tried both, both would only get 7 matches a piece and we know Rat won't change the Top 3. I rather stick with Pant or at worst see if Rahul can take the WK gloves in T20s bahubali and nevada 2 Link to comment

singhprakash72 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Don't give crap about T20 but he is not yet ready to be a keeper in test cricket. But I do agree he has been over scrutinized and should be allowed to play his natural game (batting wise). Laaloo and New guy 2 Link to comment

Will be a shame if Rat continues to play and get cheap runs against Zim too. They should ideally rest two of the top three and play all three keepers.. Rohit won't let go of his opening spot, so Rohit and Pant should open with, Samson, Iyer and Kishan to follow. Link to comment

Kohli is very insecure for his captaincy post the WC. He would have skipped the WI tour completely if not for the threat of Rohit leading and winning another series. He is not going to give Rohit another sniff at LOI captaincy. Will not play only if he is injured or is banned by ICC. beetle and bahubali 2 Link to comment

He goes for catches Dhoni doesn't even try. And we are relying more on our pace bowlers in tests, particularly overseas. He is a very good keeper beetle, diehardpacer and bahubali 3 Link to comment

Where were you when Dhoni continued for 11 years? Dhoni who has 2 50s in entire T20 career and 0 man of the matches while Pant has 2 50s in 10 matches and 1 man of the match?
