Hello Friends,
Indian youth player Prithvi Shaw after earning big salute to Test cricket, cricket fans are waiting for Rishabh Pant's batting in the World Cup-2019 this time. And the story is that at this time Kolkata Knight Riders captain Dinesh Karthik is playing as the second wicketkeeper, but Rishabh is constantly performing very well to strengthen the hold in the Indian team.
Indian cricket lovers were surprised by the absence of Rishabh Pant in the Asia Cup. But, if he joins the forthcoming one-day series against the West Indies, then he will not be surprised. If there is no chance in the ODI series, then no one, yet there will be three T-20 matches. The West Indies are considered to be a strong team in T-20 and this is a good time to give Rishabh an opportunity and to bring the genius of the code in front of the world.
According to the news, strong indications have been found that before teaming up for the World Cup team. Who are in good form in limited overs matches, Indian cricket team management is keeping the eye in Rishabh Pant. There are no more one-day matches before the World Cup. After the West Indies and touring Australia at the end of the year. The Indian team will play three T-20 and three one-day matches with Australia. 99% assured that Mahendra Singh Dhoni will play as the first wicketkeeper in the World Cup-2019. Now the question is who will occupy the place of the second wicketkeeper, Rishab or Karthik?
The fight between Dinesh Karthik and Rishav Pant. The name of the second wicketkeeper can be decided in the ODIs and T20 matches against the West Indies and Australia. Rishabh made an impressive century in the Oval Test and scored 92 runs in 84 balls in Rajkot. According to somebody, he collects good runs in one-day cricket better than the test match. That's why it's not surprising that he could not make runs in Tests, that he is playing very well in ODIs.
Keeping the mind in World Cup-2019 the main players cannot be given much comfort in the ODIs. Therefore, to see the talent of youth, they can be used in T-20. It seems that coach Ravi Shastri does not want to sacrifice the young blood as a coach. Especially in the last one month, three new faces were successful in playing with the Indian team. Rishabh was taken for the replacement of Karthik in the England Test series, and the main role behind that decision was head coach Ravi Shastri. Successful start of Hanuma Bihari at Oval and, Prithvi launch against the West Indies in Rajkot. On the tour of England, Shastri gave the more attention Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant on the net. After that, both have made minor changes in batting.
In the past one year, Karthik has never been successful in India's limited overs cricket. He is also in the fight with Ambati Rayudu in the fourth place of batting. Sri Lanka's Nidhas Trophy became the hero of India after playing aggressively in the last over. But in the last one year, his batting averages around 50% and the strike rate of 71.29. This strike rate for the World Cup may be a concern to the Indian cricket team management.
Another side someone thinks that being Rishabh means that the new 'X-Factor' is associated with a World Cup team. According to the suggestion, they can only be taken to play as a batsman. In that case, if Dhoni is doing the wicketkeeping, then Rishabh will open the door to play on six wickets as a batsman and he can be surprised by sending it like a hitter suddenly in the top.
Do you think Rishabh Pant should give chance for World Cup-2019?
