Rishabh Pant vs Ishan Kishan: Currently, there is tough competition in the Indian team due to more players competing for some positions. At one time, this competition had started for the opener's position, which is now almost over. But now there is tough competition for the wicketkeeper's position in all three formats. Rishabh Pant is currently leading in this race, but there is no dearth of other contenders behind him. Now once again Pant's close friend Ishan Kishan has returned, who is pushing for a comeback in the team and has presented a strong claim for this.
Clash between Ishan and Pant
Ever since Ishan Kishan took a sudden break from the Indian team in December last year, questions have been raised about his future since he ignored the words of BCCI to the team management. Since then, all eyes are on Ishan. He played some great innings in the IPL. After getting success in the IPL, Ishan has now returned to red ball cricket. And has given the team a direct victory, that too at a time when Rishabh Pant failed to make his team win.
Many questions on Pant's performance
Currently, all the players are on a break as the Indian team does not have any series. Amidst this break, the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) T20 League started on 17 August, in which Pant could score only 35 runs in 32 balls in the first match. His team lost this match too. Many questions are being raised about Pant's performance in T20 cricket. And this match has intensified the criticism.
Ishaan found a way to return
At present, Pant is sure to be the first choice of the selectors in the Test and ODI team. On one hand, Pant is failing. On the other hand, Ishan Kishan captained Jharkhand in the Buchi Babu tournament being played in Tamil Nadu and led the team to a 2-wicket win on the last day of the match. Jharkhand was given a target of 175 runs against the defending champion Madhya Pradesh. But the team lost 8 wickets for 162 runs. Even after this, captain Ishan Kishan gave the team a thrilling win by hitting 2 sixes on the last 3 balls. Apart from this, Ishan also took some brilliant catches behind the wicket as a wicketkeeper. This match was successful for him. And with his look, he has staked his claim in front of the selectors. However, now there is no hope of his selection. Because now the management has faith in Pant. Now this pair will clash in the Duleep Trophy and there will be a real comparison of their performance. One thing is certain that Ishan has found a way to return.
