India great Sunil Gavaskar has backed Aussie spin wizard Shane Warne’s idea of trying Rishabh Pant as an opener in ODIs to fit him into the World Cup squad
Having overcome New Zealand in the ODIs, India will now look to get the better of the hosts in the T20s as well starting on February 6. The energetic Rishabh Pant is one of the promising Indian batsman to look forward to.
The current Test series between India and Australia has seen a lot of sledging, with Tim Paine and Rishabh Pant leading the way. Their chatter during the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne has become legendary.
Former India coach Anil Kumble believes that Virat Kohli is not a finished product as captain and also that Rishabh Pant is not suited to bat at number six at this point in his career.
Virat Kohli felt India's middle-order collapse was one of the key reasons behind their four-run loss against Australia in the first T20I in Brisbane on Wednesday
