3 Reasons why India should pick Rishabh Pant ahead of Ambati Rayudu for ICC World Cup 2019

#2 Can play the role of a finisher

Rishabh Pant has shown his heroics with the bat for India

If MS Dhoni goes to bat at #4 for India in the upcoming World Cup, then the team will require a strong finisher as well. In such a case, Rishabh Pant is the only man who could play the role of a finisher while batting at no. 5 or 6. Pant has the ability to slog the ball in the death overs which may benefit India.

Ambati Rayudu is a batsman who could fit well in the opening slot or in the no 4th position as we saw in the ongoing IPL 2019. Referring to this criterion, he can’t play the role of a finisher for India. However, his batting style is also slightly opposite to that of a finisher. So if Pant gets the chance, he can also play the role of a finisher and can win the matches single handedly for his side.
