The rained-off opener in the three-match T20 series at Dharamshala means India and South Africa have one opportunity less to test their new recruits.
Besides the lesser-known names waiting in both the dugouts to come good this week at Mohali and Bengaluru, one man eager to change the current narrative is Rishabh Pant.
Rebuked by coach Ravi Shastri for his “rash stroke selection” in crunch situations, the 21-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman is facing some serious reality check in white-ball cricket.
Pant realises that depending on the result of the shot he attempts, opinions get reinforced.
One among the few playing all three formats, Pant is yet to firm up his place. Since Pant made an impression during the IPL before making it to the Indian team, he is considered most suited for the 20-over game.
