Rishabh Pant: Team India is now scheduled to play a 3 T20 match series with Sri Lanka from July 27. For which the squad of Team India can be announced very soon. While India is also scheduled to play a 3 ODI match series with Sri Lanka from August 2. It is believed that many young players may get a chance against Sri Lanka.
While now the new head of Team India, Gautam Gambhir, can take a big decision and can remove the team's star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant from the team. At the same time, now it can be considered to give a chance to these 3 players in place of Pant.
Rishabh Pant may be dropped from the ODI and T20 series against Sri Lanka. Because head coach Gautam Gambhir no longer wants to include any player in the team whose performance has been very poor.
According to media reports, Rishabh Pant can now get a chance only in Tests. Because, Pant has not had a special performance in white ball cricket. Although he has been given a lot of opportunities. Pant also disappointed a lot in the T20 World Cup 2024.
🚨📢 Rishabh Pant is set to be dropped from T20Is & ODIs vs SL because of his poor outings even after getting 100 + white bowl games.

While if sources are to be believed, Team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir can now give a chance to KL Rahul, Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel in ODI and T20 formats in place of Rishabh Pant. While Gambhir can now give a chance to these three wicketkeeper players by excluding Pant in the coming time. While it seems difficult for Rishabh Pant to get a chance in World Champions Trophy 2025, T20 World Cup 2026 and World Cup 2027.
If we talk about Rishabh Pant's performance in ODI and T20 formats, his performance has not been anything special so far. Because, Rishabh Pant has got a chance in 30 ODI matches. In which he has been able to score only 865 runs at an average of 34.
Pant has scored 5 half-centuries and 1 century in 26 innings in ODIs. Rishabh Pant has scored 1158 runs in 74 T20 matches at an average of 22. While during this period his strike rate has also been just 126.
