Team India set their eyes on winning the T20 World Cup 2024 title after they ended up being the first runner-up of the ODI World Cup 2023 after suffering a defeat against Australia in the final game. However, the ongoing IPL 2024 is set to serve as the major preparation for the event.
Meanwhile, the IPL 2024 has witnessed the remarkable comeback of Rishabh Pant, who has been displaying his batting prowess in the event. The star cricketer recently hammered the half-century in the recent clash against KKR and stands as a great player for Team India ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024.
In the same vein, here are the three major reasons why Pant should get the chance in the T20 World Cup 2024.
1. Team India needs a reliable middle-order batter
The Men in Blue are indeed struggling for the middle-order batter ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023. Notably, the side has good opening batters and top-order batters, but they still lack the middle-order batter. However, the 26-year-old cricketer can boost Team India’s middle order in the T20 World Cup 2024.
2. The best Indian wicketkeeper across all the formats
Notably, Rishabh Pant is known as one of the best wicket keepers for India across all formats. However, KL Rahul was the wicketkeeper in his absence, but the selectors are avoiding his role to avoid his injuries. However, Rishabh Pant is the only one who can fill the shoes for Team India.
3. A good candidate to succeed Rohit Sharma as skipper in the future
Rishabh Pant can replace Rohit Sharma as the T20I skipper in the future. Notably, the 26-year-old has been leading the Delhi Capitals team tremendously well for so many years and has taken his side at the epitome of the level. However, the stylish right-handed batter has a full chance to take over Rohit Sharma as the skipper. In addition, the star batter showed his fearless batting in the T20I formats several times and single-handedly contributed to many wins, which makes him a very special batter.
