IND NZ Warm-up Live: ICC T20 World Cup Live – India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is back at his favorite ground at Gabba in Brisbane. Pant also went for a solo practice session before India’s warm-up match against New Zealand today. Pant, who did not play in India’s first official warm-up game against Australia seems to be fit and fine after a slight knee wobble. This is the last chance for the southpaw to get back amongst runs. If he fails yet again, then Dinesh Karthik will get the nod in India’s playing XI against Pakistan. Follow IND NZ Warm-up & T20 World Cup 2022 Live Updates with InsideSport.IN.

IND NZ Warm-up Live: Pant has happy memories of Gabba, keen to make a statement – It was at this very ground against Australia in 2021, that Pant scored a terrific fourth innings 89 and won an improbable game for India. Now, the wicketkeeper-batter has a chance to redeem himself at Gabba against India’s nemesis New Zealand. If the southpaw manages to do well, then he could be in that starting XI against Pakistan.
ICC T20 World Cup: Last chance for Rishabh Pant to crack the code in T20 format
- Pant has played 62 T20Is and has managed to score only 961 runs at a dismal-looking strike rate of 124.
- The southpaw also failed to cross 30 in India’s unofficial warm-up matches against Western Australia.
- The management has begun losing trust on Pant as Karthik has established himself as a bankable finisher and keeper.
- Skipper Rohit Sharma though wants to give one last chance to Pant to prove his mettle.
- With stakes so high, the 25-year-old needs to grab this golden chance with both hands.
