#1 Shreyas Iyer for Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant gave a disappointing display in the first T20 against the West Indies yesterday. Despite India needing just 110 runs and having lost 2 early wickets in quick succession, Rishabh Pant got out by playing a rash shot and hence got India into trouble.
In order to stay in the Indian team, Pant needs to control his aggression and play as per the situation. Playing always across the line of the ball is a bad habit which he has been guilty of. Hence, Pant needs to improve his mentality in order to remain in the team.
On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer is a calm and composed player who has been scoring a lot of runs for India A side. Despite being in top form, he was not included in the starting XI yesterday. Hence, Rohit and Shastri should consider picking Iyer in the 2nd T20 instead of Pant.
