If I remember correctly, during the early CSK days, Parthiv Patel used to keep and Dhoni used to field. May be something similar can be done with Pant and Dhoni. Would save some more energy for Dhoni to try and hit some big shots!

No, your memory is not correct.

Pappu has been chosen to make Saha look good

My bad, I guess it was the other way round then - Dhoni keeping and Parthiv fielding?

IIRC they both have switched places a handful of times.

First I though this is a hurried move but after the news of Pappu being recalled...I wish it was Pant.

Like him or not, Pappu is a polarizing figure on ICF!  Now if he drops a catch or misses a stumping, there will be even more of an outpouring of Pant-gasms here.

Maybe if he does well (or at least decently), there will be Pappugasms?

Not really. You will rarely find Dhoni not keeping while playing.

it was the other way round ..Parthiv used to field especially as was used as opener also .

 

 

I remember that in 1996 Australia - SA series and some more ODI series, for 10-12 games, Ian Healy used to be w/k and acting captain with Adam Gilchrist playing purely as batsman .

I think that has happened in many teams - Zim, SL, even NZ are such examples.
