Rishabh Pant’s performance in Test cricket has been incredible, he has given a new identity to Test cricket. Rishabh Pant had very soon taken the record of scoring a century in all the SENA Countries. He helped India win by playing an incredible innings in Australia’s Gabba ground and with that India also won The Border Gavaskar Trophy. Several such stellar innings helped Rishabh Pant cement his place in the Test team and the youngster impressed one and all with his wicket-keeping skills. Due to his road accident in Roorkee, he will be away from cricket for almost 1 year and he will not be able to play the World Test Championship as well as the 2023 World Cup.
Who will replace him ?
The first option with the selection committee of the Indian cricket team is Kl Rahul, he is India’s opener batsman and can also do wicketkeeping. Another option is available in the form of KS Bharat. He has good wicketkeeping skills and domestic experience as well. Bharat made his debut in the absence of Saha and Pant. Also Wriddhiman Saha can be seen as the third option. Saha was dropped from the team due to poor performance and fitness, but now he is fully fit, so due to Saha’s experience, he can be seen as Pant’s replacement.
Conclusion
Rishabh Pant wants to recover as soon as possible and play for India and as far as replacement is concerned, India has to play 4 test matches in border gavaskar trophy before WTC, in the same series India will have to find replacement for Pant.
