Nidahas Trophy 2018: 5 talking points about India from the tournament

#2 Dropping of Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant was left out of the playing 11 after the first two matches

It was really disappointing to see Rishabh Pant being left out of the playing 11 after the first couple of matches in the Nidahas Trophy. The 20-year-old scored 23 against Sri Lanka and 7 against Bangladesh before being left out of the playing 11 in the remaining matches.

The wicket-keeper batsman requires the backing of the team management and considering that the seniors were rested, he should have been given a consistent run in the playing 11. The 20 year old should be groomed for the T20 World Cup in 2020 in Australia as his aggression at the top of the order is the requirement of the shortest form of the game.
