Birmingham: India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh reckoned that it would make sense to bring in Rishabh Pant in the playing XI instead of the scratchy Vijay Shankar or Kedar Jadhav.
"In any case, Vijay is not bowling, so what's the point," asked Harbhajan who is here as a television expert.

Harbhajan felt that Pant's inclusion will not only provide India with the much-needed X factor, it will also give India the luxury of having a good batsman to beef up the total in case Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli depart early.
However, it is learnt that if at all Vijay is dropped from the side for the Sunday's game against England, the team think-tank will bring in Dinesh Karthik for the No. 4 position.
