Will Rishabh Pant finally get his chance in the Indian team’s T20 World Cup match against Bangladesh?

At the T20 World Cup, Rishabh Pant has been waiting for his chance on the sidelines for three games. He might now finally be given a spot in the starting XI.

India must defeat Bangladesh in Adelaide on Thursday in order to maintain their chances of making the T20 World Cup semifinals in Australia in 2022. Rishabh Pant, an explosive southpaw, has been waiting for his chance on the sidelines for three games and could finally make the starting XI against the neighbors.

Prior to the crucial encounter on Wednesday, India head coach Rahul Dravid provided an update on the team’s condition. He said the team would decide whether to play injured first-choice wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik. With fewer than 24 hours left, Karthik’s participation is in doubt, hence Pant is more likely to be selected as the wicketkeeper and the only left-handed batting option.

Due to back spasms, Dinesh Karthik was forced to leave the field of play in the middle of the South Africa game, and Pant filled in as a replacement behind the wickets. Karthik did participate in a practice session before the game. Dravid implied that Karthik still has the support of the camp despite having a lackluster T20 World Cup campaign thus far by confirming that the final decision about the senior keeper’s fitness will be made on game day.

“Dinesh Karthik arrived for practice this morning. We’ll evaluate his condition tomorrow. We think we should support the players “On Tuesday, Dravid stated.

In other developments, India will support struggling opener KL Rahul against Bangladesh despite his subpar T20 World Cup 2022 performance thus far.
