I certainly want him in ODIs specially during WC. Rahul is a makeshift keeper, who makes a few mistakes every game. He will (not IF) drop a few critical chances during next WC which we will regret. I just hope senses prevail and Pant is brought back in playing XI even if at the expense of Rohit. 

Samson better than both. Or even Jurel

Problem is no slot in top 3 till both baujis are in team. Samson outside of these 3 slots isnt as effective. We have seen so little of Jurel not sure about him in SA.

Samson scored 84 at no. 6 and almost won us the match back in 2022

 

Even KL was a top order player before. If he can be tried lower down the order why not Sanju

Cant recollect the inning. I still would bet on Pant at 5/6 ahead of others in ODI.

More chances should be given to Pant to sort out his LOI batting.

 

He is a freakish talent.

Not saying anyone of is better option but comparison between sanju,kishan and rishab shows sanju and kishan has better avg by big margins and both can play multiple spots and both can be played as batter can can field in the outfield.

Each has their strength and weakness. Sanju has done well under pressure. Asia cup final came at 20/3. Steadied the ship in unusual position. Then 3 epic knocks. Against SA down the order almost won the game. Handles spin well. Also ability to score big overs. Downside is inconsistency. He can have a sequence of failures out of the blue. Has the skills to survive in most conditions except may be moving conditions for first few overs. Down the order he won't have such issues.

 

Pant. Strength is  Can play almost all conditions in the world. Doesn't succumb to pressure. Better keeper.  Doesn't succumb to pressure sometimes injudicious shot selection let him down. Doesn't have the right tempo where you shift through gears.

 

Kishan strength is can go from ball 1. With enhanced all round game he doesn't get stuck at one end anymore. He manages to find himself at other end. Weakness is he is still not entirely convincing in certain helpful conditions for seam bowlers. There are still some weaknesses that can be exploited. Worst keeper of the lot.

yes , no one is clear better than others is the conclusion , everyone has that 1 good innings but they are not suited for Odis and specially for SA conditions.

 

Thats why kl plays as wk in odis even when he has botched up 2 WCs , he is at same wking levels as these 3 are, has avg of ~48 and  sr of 90+.

Can open if needed and will all his mental flaws he has better technique than others.
