Former India opener Gautam Gambhir thinks that Pant needs to focus on red-ball cricket, while he waits to have a chance at making the cut for white-ball cricket
Rishabh Pant
One of the most significant developments from India’s squads for the upcoming white-ball series has been the exclusion of Rishabh Pant from ODIs and T20Is. Though reports emerged of him being asked to report to the NCA for a strength and conditioning programme, the future of Pant in India’s white-ball scheme of things is under dark clouds.
Former India opener Gautam Gambhir thinks that Pant needs to focus on red-ball cricket, while he waits to have a chance at making the cut for white-ball cricket. “That’s why he’s not part of both squads. His white-ball numbers are not that great as compared to his Test numbers.

“Probably Rishabh will have to wait for his opportunity if he gets that chance in white-ball cricket. At the moment, he should focus on red-ball cricket. We know he’s got the talent, but he has got enough opportunities in white-ball cricket, where he was asked to open the batting or be in the middle-order. The management has tried every possible way for him to succeed or given him the platform to be so in white-ball cricket, but unfortunately that didn’t happen,” said Gambhir during an interaction organised by Star Sports.
