For his sheer "courage and dare", Rishabh Pant should always be a part of India`s starting XI during the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022, feels former Australian great Adam Gilchrist. There has been a debate on who among the two should be in starting line-up and it seemed that Gilchrist`s vote of confidence is in favour of the much younger Pant.
"The dare of Rishabh Pant and the courage in him, the way in which he takes on bowling attacks, I think he`s got to be a must in that Indian line-up," Gilchrist was quoted as saying in an ICC release. "They can play together, but I think Rishabh Pant has definitely got to be in there." India included both Pant and Karthik in the 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia but the former`s underwhelming record in T20Is might go against him.
