Rishabh Pant: India and Sri Lanka will play a three-match ODI series from August 2. As far as the T20 series is concerned, Team India led by Suryakumar Yadav won the series 3-0. Now this team will be eyeing to whitewash the host team in the ODI series as well.

However, before the upcoming series, the Indian team has suffered a major setback. Actually, the team's important player and wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant is being dropped from the team. Another great player has replaced him. Let's know the whole thing in detail in this article.

Rishabh Pant will not play the ODI series against Sri Lanka

Ahead of the three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, a shocking news is coming from Team India's camp. Actually, Rishabh Pant has been dropped from the playing eleven in the upcoming series. Even though BCCI has included this 26-year-old player in the 15-member squad, he is going to sit on the bench.

In his place, KL Rahul is likely to play in all three ODIs. It is worth noting that Pant is not given much importance in the 50 over format. On the other hand, KL has been seen consistently representing the Indian team in this format for some time now.
