Rishabh Pant’s Remarkable Comeback Sparks Debate for T20 World Cup Squad Selection
Rishabh Pant’s remarkable comeback in the ongoing IPL season has not only caught the attention of fans but also former cricketers like Stuart Broad, who believe that the dynamic batter deserves a spot in India’s T20 World Cup squad.
Pant’s journey back to the cricket field after a serious car accident in 2022 has been nothing short of inspiring. The Delhi Capitals skipper has shown his class with the bat, scoring 194 runs in six matches at an impressive strike rate of 157.72, including two half-centuries.
Stuart Broad, who has been closely following Pant’s performances, highlighted a particular shot played by the batter against Kolkata Knight Riders that left him in awe. Broad believes that Pant’s ability to play such shots under pressure makes him a valuable asset for the Indian team in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
However, Broad also expressed concerns about managing Pant’s workload, given his multiple roles within the Delhi Capitals team. The former England pacer suggested a strategic approach to ensure that Pant is not overburdened during the tournament.
Despite the workload concerns, Broad’s support for Pant’s inclusion in the T20 World Cup squad remains unwavering. The former cricketer believes that Pant’s match-winning potential and readiness for international cricket make him a strong contender for a spot in the final 15.
As the cricket world eagerly awaits the announcement of India’s T20 World Cup squad, all eyes will be on Rishabh Pant and whether his stellar performances in the IPL will be enough to secure his place in the team.
