There was a big debate when Rishabh Pant did not make it to India's World Cup team. When he was named as an injury replacement to Shikhar Dhawan, there were questions over when will the young, explosive wicketkeeper-batsman play?
And with Vijay Shankar failing to grab his opportunity in the matches against Afghanistan and West Indies, the call for Pant's inclusion became louder. When he finally played on Sunday against England here at Edgbaston, in place of injured Vijay Shankar, questions were raised over whether it was right to send the World Cup debutant at No. 4 in a high- pressure chase. Pant scored a 29- ball 32 that included four boundaries. India vice-captain Rohit Sharma left everyone in splits at the press conference on Sunday.
