India's new first-choice wicket-keeper batsman across formats will most likely be around for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Rishabh Pant has enough time to fill the big void set to be left by legendary Wicket Keeper MS Dhoni.

Pant was not in the initial 15-member squad for the World Cup, but an unfortunate injury to Shikhar Dhawan meant that the left-hander had to be drafted into the squad, and he was also part of the playing eleven in the latter half of the tournament.

He had good starts whenever he got a chance with the bat, but was not able to capitalize on them and couldn't get past fifty even once in four outings. Even in the semi-final, he was looking good but failed to get a big score.

Four years is a long time, and he will be a much better keeper-batsman than he is right now and may become a vital cog in India's batting line-up.
