Even today, Pant could not do anything special, after which Rishabh’s chances of staying in T20 format (Rishabh Pant in T20I) have also reduced. Let us tell you that Hardik Pandya had sent Pant as an opener in the second and today’s third match against New Zealand, Pant and Ishaan Kishan had landed for the opening. Also, the team management had high hopes from him, but Pant could neither score runs in the second match nor do anything special in the third T20 today.
After the poor performance of Rishabh Pant, the anger of the fans is coming out on the team management. Fans say that even after poor performance, the team management is constantly giving chances to Pant, but even after being in the best form, Sanju Samson is not getting a chance. Now due to Rishabh’s continuous out of form, the demand for Sanju Samson to replace him in the team is also gaining momentum. Not only this, during the second match in New Zealand also, the fans of Sanju Samson reached the stand with banners regarding his selection in the team. There are many other players like Sanju who are out of the Indian team despite being in excellent form. However, it is now expected that Sanju Samsung will get a chance in Team India in place of Rishabh Pant and Pant will be given a break for some time. Fans are also waiting for Sanju Samsung to join Team India.
