The rise of Rishabh Pant as deputy of Karthik for the first three tests was a surprise
The southpaw showed himself promising but only with the bat and that also only in the shortest formats. He was outstanding in this edition of the Indian Premier League but unfortunately he was not so lucky in the Ranji Trophy.
This is the first time that selectors have shown the fate in Pant for the longer format. Otherwise, he was obliged to succeed Dhoni in the limited format. He was part of the Indian team that toured the West Indies last year but only managed to play a T20, despite the poor performance of Dhoni
Pant , which has not yet proven its ability to test, had a below average Ranji season. scored 35 points in 7 games. More importantly, it's his skill behind the stumps that still needs a lot of polishing.
With Wriddiman Saha for months with an upcoming shoulder surgery and Parthiv Patel wasting his chances in South Africa, one can expect the Karthik duel and Pant to intensify.
