Pant is worse in white ball cricket. He has no temperament. Although this is test cricket, he can get anybody mad with blind ghumao shots. Listen to Gavaskar

When even padosis question the wisdom of playing Kela over Pant

You are once again confusing ODIs with T20s, before his injury Pant was averaging 40 with a strike rate of 110 for last 2 years.

KLR dropped catches and can be crucial in a semi or final. His knock in 2023 WC final was the most selfish knock I have ever seen.

Look , I don’t want him around, but he’s surviving mainly because the TM are not confident of options. He’s lucky that way

Pant is damn good in ODIs. I'd rather have blind slogs then gently tapping the ball like its a grenade

[AKane]

"KL Rahul"..... there is something about that name itself that is not explainable in our ordinary world.

 

He is the peerless KL for a reason.....

[putrevus]

Rahul in his 10 lifetimes cannot play an innings like this one by Pant in odis. Pant may get out for zero but it will not be due him being timid like this guy.

If so, why is he sitting out? Do you mean to say Kela has some photos of Gambir? He is the one back Rahul over his Delhi teammate. Even Agarkar wants Pant over Kela. Delhi lobby crab mentality? They should learn from Mumbai

Run a ball innings after a great start, not really a great example.

You missed Dhoni WC Semi-finals knock 4 years before that one.

[coffee_rules]

Was wondering what KL was complaining about to Kohli when he wanted to for a rash shot to get out

From my lip-reading skills it seemed like he said something like "main maar rahaa that naa ..." Like, I was hitting. Why did you also try to hit?

[putrevus]

I am doing what Rohit is asking me to do , hope he understands. I would love to open but I am willing to do whatever TM is asking me to do,

There atleast we were 6 down chasing a moderate score. KL had no business playing that knock.
