- Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant, the young and talented explosive batsman has been selected as the second wicketkeeper along with Dinesh Karthik. With Mahendra Singh Dhoni rested for T20I series, it will be a great chance for Pant to prove his hard-hitting abilities. In the recently concluded Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy tournament, the 20-year-old scored 411 runs from 10 matches at a strike rate of 195.71 with the best score of 116*. He was the second leading runs scorer in that T20 tournament.
He has played 2 matches for team India against England and West Indies. Known for his explosive batting, Pant would get 4 matches against in the tournament. He was dropped from the Indian team due to his poor form. Pant needs to score big runs during T20I tri-series and continue to be in the try for national selection.
