Legendary Indian opener Sunil Gavaskar has said that even if Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant fails to score runs in the upcoming Indian Premier League, he will be a part of India’s squad for the 2024 T20 World Cup. We believe that we can become a ‘game changer for India.’
Rishabh Pant is expected to return to cricket in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL). Delhi His Capitals management announced that Pant, who was away from cricket for about a year, will captain the team in his 2024 IPL season.
If the southpaw proves his fitness in matches, the Indian selection team will be happy to include him in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup to be held in West Indies and the United States.
Sunil Gavaskar told Star Sports during the three-match series against South Africa that Rishabh Pant can be included in the Indian squad if he proves his fitness and plays all the matches for Delhi Capitals. The left-handed hitter added: He will be the first choice for the T20 World Cup as he can have a huge impact on the team.
“Yes, he (Pant) will return to the team. He is an impact player. He has shown his fitness in the IPL. There are 4 months left until the IPL. He will play the IPL. To do. Whatever he does in IPL.
“If he can play the entire IPL without injury, he will be in the team. Whether he scores one run or no runs in the IPL, I think he is a game changer. If he were a selector, he would be one of the top two picks,” Sunil Gavaskar said.
Rishabh Pant missed the entire IPL season and international matches for India last year. The left-handed batsman has been ruled out of the four-Test series against Australia, IPL 2023, West Indies, Ireland and Asia Cup. And the World Cup. He is also expected to miss the upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan and the crucial five-match Test series against England in February.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravi Bishnoi, Rinku Singh and other experienced Indian players have been performing well for the team and will therefore feature in the Indian squad in the upcoming T20 World Cup. He is one of the top candidates to play as. It is carried out within the given possibilities.
Men in Blue has introduced a fearless approach to the short format of the game, and we hope to continue this.
