- Indian team’s star batsman Rishabh Pant’s bat remained silent in the Ranji Trophy. He got out cheaply by scoring just 1 run against his friend’s bowling. Now due to poor performance, his exclusion from Champions Trophy 2025 is being considered…
Rishabh Pant: After the new rules of BCCI, the senior players of Team India took part in the Ranji Trophy. In which big players like Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shreyas Iyer were seen playing for Mumbai. On the other hand, Virat Kohli could not take part in the Delhi team due to neck pain. But, star batsman Rishabh Pant took the field. But, he could not do anything special. He got out cheaply after scoring just 1 run in his friend’s over. After this poor performance, head coach Gautam Gambhir can make him warm the bench in the Champions Trophy.
Rishabh Pant flopped in Ranji Trophy
The match is being played between Saurashtra and Delhi in Rajkot. In this match, all eyes were on star batsman Rishabh Pant. Because, after a long time, he came to the field to participate in domestic cricket. But, Pant could not make any impact against Saurashtra in the Ranji Trophy. His friend and national teammate Ravindra Jadeja was bowling in front of Pant. But, Jadeja won the game. Because he made Pant his victim, let us tell you that Rishabh Pant played a total of 10 balls in this match and could score only 1 run.
Will Rishabh Pant be dropped from the Champions Trophy?
There are only a few days left before the start of the Champions Trophy 2025. Before that, many players of Team India have a golden opportunity to regain their form. After that, the ODI series is to be played against England. But, the poor performance of Indian players continues, in the Ranji Trophy, Indian stars, Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and then Pant have also been out cheaply.
In such a situation, the sword of head coach Gautam Gambhir can hang over these players. Rishabh Pant can come under the target of the head coach. Because KL Rahul has been selected for the Champions Trophy. His current form is also excellent. He batted brilliantly in BGT against Australia. In such a situation, if Rishabh Pant does not return to form, then by the deadline, the head coach can remove him from the 15-member team and include Sanju in the squad.
