England v India - 3rd Vitality International T20

4. Rishabh Pant :

England Lions v India A - Tri-Series International

Rishabh Pant rediscovered himself in this year's IPL. He scored massive 684 runs in 14 innings at a scintillating strike rate of 173.60, ending as one of the top run getters. Against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Pant played a memorable knock of 128* of just 63 balls which helped Delhi put up a respectable total of 187 on the board. Pant also hit the most sixes and fours in this IPL season, with the count being 37 sixes and 68 fours.

Pant was also the highest run scorer in the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy this year. He played with responsibility and composure in the middle order. He showed everyone that he knows how to build a proper innings and later accelerate at the death.

He has also played brilliantly and sensibly in all formats for Indian A in recently completed England tour. Rishabh Pant is an excellent choice to bat at number four in this team.

About the author

Cricket was always like a religion for me since my childhood. It first caught my attention in the Kolkata test vs Australia and when South Africa chased down 434 against Australia, my fascination for the game has reached new heights.
My current drug is league cricket especially IPL and CPL. I loved when these formats proved every critics wrong.
I also love to analyse the game from data point of view and I would like to thank Sportskeeda for giving me this opportunity for expressing views on the game an its future.
