Rishabh Pant awaited his first match of the tournament and got a chance against Craig Ervine’s men on November 6 in the Super 12 stage replacing Dinesh Karthik. However, the southpaw contributed only 3 runs with the bat and disappointed the team management.
While the left-handed batter came in late in the clash against England in the semi-finals, Pant, who sacrificed his wicket for Pandya, departed for 6 runs and failed to make an impact yet again. The decision, however, was pointed out post-India’s exit in the 20-20 World Cup and many claimed that India should have rather gone with Karthik instead in the knockouts.
