Young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant's inclusion over Vijay Shankar in the playing XI in Sunday's World Cup clash against England left everyone surprised.

At Edgbaston, the 21-year-old was sent at the much talked-about position in the Indian batting line-up: The number four spot during the chase of 338. He came out after Virat Kohli's dismissal when India was struggling to keep up with the asking rate and along with Rohit Sharma, added 52 runs for the third wicket to bring the team back in the run chase.
