Did the management throw Pant out of ODIs to fit KL in XI

On Sports Yaari youtube channel Sushant Mehta was talking about it.

Iyer couldn't be kept out because of his good form in NZ.

Top 3 were fixed. 

Pant didn't score runs in NZ and he was under pressure from fans so they thought its the best chance to fit in KL as WK Bat.

So they asked Rishabh to go back to India after a net session in BD.

KL merits the place in ODIs and is a vice captain so Pant had to go out. Had Pant performed, Iyer would have been sacrificial lamb inspite of good performances.

 

Remember the England ODI series earlier this ywar, I think Iyer was in the squad but didn't got to play while Pant and Surya both played in that series. But since then Iyer has been consistently performing vs WI, SA and NZ and hence merits a place vs BD.

Pant dropped in ODIs for non performance in T20s? What kind of moronic logic by the team is this?

He failed vs NZ in ODIs and also a workload thing too.

I think more of workload....if we are dropping people for failing in 2 ODIs in NZ then no player will ever be sure of his place

Consider the fact that his spot in ODIs wasn't confirmed so 2 ODIs failure and performances from Iyer is enough to drop him out from the squad. Kishan performed vs SA but was dropped from NZ and Gill performed vs NZ but dropped from BD. So, until your place is cemented, you can be dropped.

KL  needs to be gone in all formats.

KL is an extremely talented batsman. He however won't win us anything. Since we don't want to win world cup anytime soon so he is a must in team.

That would be a big travesty....but knowing regionalist jingo Dravid he will definitely push for Rahul. Slowly this team would be assembled with Gujju due to Jay Shah  and Dravid's fav players rather than on merit. An out of form Pant can still win matches from nowhere like he did in eng on tough pitch but with KL at 5 I can assure you a choke job this guy is bad against spin and pace both with peanut size 95% temperament.

On what basis, this guy is biggest choker India has ever produced. Do you think he can play inning like pant at number 5 when were 66/4 against eng in a chase of 250. He will be the first one to start the procession.

KL doesn't merit anything. Needs to be stripped off VC position first and foremost.

Pant's series deciding innings from a crisis position has been conveniently forgotten by TM and selectors to accommodate washed up players. Will be ever get an uninterrupted 10-12 game run?

Aur Dhawan ne kya ukhada hai pichley 5 odi series me ...and what is kela avg in last 3-4 odi series compare to Pant.

 

As someone rightly said if we dropped players based on couple of bad outings in NZ, we would need a new team every few games.

In odi Pant definitely deserve chance as he is good in odi so far and he is a left handed batsmen, wc is in India him and Shreyas in mo can take down spinners. Kela doesn't deserve to be a part of wc team after so many choke jobs. Rahul Dravid is such a moron he back kela ahead of specialist keepers , have you seen how kela kept wkt yday just to stay relevant.Thats all Dravid master plan.
