'Even if he has a very good IPL...': Zaheer Khan on Rishabh Pant's chances of getting into India's T20 World Cup squad – India TV

India TV News  

With the Afghanistan series done and dusted, India have played all their international T20 assignments before the T20 World Cup, with just the IPL remaining. Former India pacer Zaheer Khan was of the view that even if Pant, who is likely to make his comeback in IPL 2024, has a great season with the Delhi Capitals, the Indian team might not be looking at him as a T20 batter. Speaking on Colors Cineplex, Zaheer said, "If you see Rishabh Pant’s journey, the turn he has gone through is not easy for any player. Pant averages 22 at a strike rate of 126 in 66 T20Is for India, which shows he doesn't have a great number and the likes of Jitesh, Samson and Ishan to an extent might be frontrunners as far as the squad for the T20 World Cup is concerned.
