Pant failed to impress in the Test series against New Zealand where he failed to score runs much like other Indian batsmen. He was also involved in a disastrous run out in the first Test of the series at Wellington. Ajinkya Rahane made a bad call which ended Pant’s innings in the first innings of the match.
With the IPL around the corner, Pant will be eyeing to make the most of the opportunity during the upcoming edition of the tournament. Rishabh made his debut for the Delhi Capitals back in 2016 and he has now become a crucial member of the franchise.
