Sourav Ganguly cautious about Rishabh Pant’s T20 World Cup selection | Cricket News

Delhi Capitals’ Rishabh Pant is making a strong case for himself to be included in the Indian squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA. Despite his team’s poor start in the 2024 IPL, Pant has been in fine form both with the bat and behind the wickets.

In his recent performances against Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders, Pant showcased his power game with back-to-back half-centuries. With 152 runs in four matches at a strike-rate of 158.33, Pant has been a standout performer for Delhi Capitals.

Ahead of their clash against Mumbai Indians, DC’s director of cricket Sourav Ganguly praised Pant’s form, stating that he looks in good shape and is fully fit. Ganguly also expressed his satisfaction with the team’s bowling but raised concerns about their batting performance.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians’ skipper Hardik Pandya has faced criticism from fans, with constant booing at venues where MI has played. Ganguly came to Pandya’s defense, urging fans to stop booing the all-rounder and respect the franchise’s decision to appoint him as captain.

As the IPL season progresses, all eyes will be on Pant as he continues to impress with his performances, hoping to secure a spot in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup. With Ganguly’s backing and his own stellar form, Pant is certainly a player to watch out for in the upcoming matches.
