Results for: Wicketkeeper-Batter

Rishabh Pant has made a remarkable return to India’s squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, just 16 months after suffering severe injuries in a near-fatal car crash. The wicketkeeper-batter has been in impressive form for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL), scoring 398 runs in 11 innings. Pant’s inclusion in the squad is a testament to his resilience and determination, as he has overcome significant physical and mental challenges to regain his place in the national team. India will be hoping that Pant can continue his fine form in the T20 World Cup, which will be held in the Caribbean and United States in June.

Rishabh Pant’s impressive 88 off 43 deliveries led Delhi Capitals to a thrilling four-run win over Gujarat Titans. Despite Pant’s heroics, former New Zealand cricketer Simon Doull believes Pant may not be suitable for India’s middle order in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Doull suggests Pant could potentially bat at number 3, but competition for wicketkeeping positions remains fierce, with Sanju Samson and Dinesh Karthik also performing well. The Indian selectors will meet with Rohit Sharma in the coming days to finalize the 15-member World Cup squad, and the deadline to submit the squad is May 1.
