Don't be so sure. He might play entire tourney

 

Samson was best option but Pant is better than KKD

 

It is their loss. They made their bed. So far inspite of DK we have won 2 matches. Against SA we probably could have won if he had done something. Let me be lenient there as everyone faltered on that fast pacy Perth.  So far the damage is minimal as we scrapped around and won. But this may not be the case in the coming matches.

Pant is bit too 'fearless' but that's better than nervous wreck DK specially in knockouts

 

Even if he fails, would be better keeper

Nervous energy can be contagious. It can impact others as well.

India is somewhere near the bottom they showed.  Axar patel damn 

With DK you have to add stumping also. That makes him more liable.

Both DK and Pant are proven failures in t20 format.  They should not be anywhere near the team.   Samson should be IN and Kela should be kept as backup WK.

bring on Samsung (samson), and also Apple and Nokia

Ind has to persist with DK, Pant is no good in white ball cricket. 

 

Pant has played 50 T20i and not able to cement his place and Ind has to bring a semi-retired cricketer in 15 says a lot abt TM's faith in him. He has neither been able to score quickly nor been able to anchor the innings. His mistime shots can fetch him 2/3 bounce boundary or  two/three runs in test but in T20Is and ODIs those mistime hits gets hold-out.

 

Also DK has done well in what ever opportunities he got, TM looks more confident of DK with death over hitting,

 

Had Pant not scored that one 100 against Eng he would have been dropped, and it was too late to cut their loses for Ind to try a new WK-batter and plus he was LH batter  which got him a place in 15

There is a solution. Open with Pant, drop KL to 5 or 6 so that he can't play selfishly during power play. MO anyways should be fluid but Sky has done enough to bat at 4 now and move to 3 when one of Rohit or Kohli moves out which may not happen anytime soon.

DK calls RCB score as under par even before CSK innings has started.  Biggest mental midget in history of indian cricket

Pant has set the IPL.on fire many times against great bowlers so.clearly the issue is TM not giving him proper runs in right postion. He should be playing top 3. 

 

As long as we have stat padders like Kohli and Rahul at top no attacking batsmen can play enough balls to get enough experience, number of matches played count for jack **** if players barely face some balls at death most time

Pant has played 66 T20s. (That's a huge sample size) And he averages barely 22 with an ordinary SR of 125.  T20 has always been his weakest suit.  His inability to rotate strike is very apparent in the shortest format.   He has done well in the other 2 formats. Not denying that.                                                                                                     We should not mix formats.   Pant's ability in t20 is highly overrated.  And it's not my opinion.  This is what the statistics (with large sample size) reveals.   Wheather he would be able to turn things around is a different debate altogether.

Those are t20i stats where his position has always been floating and uncertain and he usually ends up facing a small number of balls  behind statpadders. In ipl he has played 98 matches and averages 34.6 which is pretty good. He hasn't averaged below 30 in a single season he has played. For reference Rohit averages just 29 in ipl despite opening. T20 is not Pant's strongest format but he can certainly be used much more effectively than he has been.

On a more serious note, why are you named after flu medication?
