5 Players who can seal World Cup spot by impressing in Vijay Hazare trophy

#1 Rishabh Pant

Time and again Indian batting lineup has failed to capitalize on strong starts provided by the top order. The lower middle order lacks in muscle and fails to accelerate in the death overs. The decay in MS Dhoni’s batting over the past few years has only made the situation worse. The ferocious hitting abilities of the pocket-sized dynamo Rishabh Pant may help India in solving this problem.

Pant made everyone take note of his batting by smashing a century against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, the best attack in the IPL. Pant has strong power in his arms and can clear the boundary ropes with ridiculous ease. His counter-attacking century in the fourth innings against England at the Oval has only made his claim stronger. He can also act as an effective backup keeper.
