    "editor1": "<p>Former Australia spinner Brad Hogg has called on the Indian selectors to include Rishabh Pant in India&#39;s limited-overs squads saying that the batsman&#39;s ability to play unconventional shots makes him difficult to bowl to.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I would be putting him there right now because he has got the confidence and the belief. He has proven himself with two match-winning knocks in this Test series. You can&#39;t get better than that playing for India on Australian soil. I would put him in place of Iyer. Keep your all-round options there for batting and bowling depth. He will be there for either Iyer or Sanju Samson,&quot; said Hogg on his Youtube channel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He is hard to bowl to because he plays a variety of shots that are different to any other batsman. Get him in there,&quot; added Hogg.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pant scored 97 on the fifth day of the Sydney Test, helping India escape with a draw. He then made an unbeaten 89 on the fifth day of the Brisbane Test to help India win the match by three wickets and seal the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div style=\"page-break-after:always\"><span style=\"display:none\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>The former Chinaman bowler and left-handed batsman, however, backed Virat Kohli to continue as India skipper saying that any change in captaincy at the moment can affect India&#39;s balance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He said that removing Kohli from captaincy can affect his batting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;He (Virat Kohli) bats better when he is the captain. I think if you change it, it would destroy the culture of that Indian team. It might affect Kohli&#39;s batting. He wouldn&#39;t want it to happen, but it will happen,&quot; Hogg said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Yes, Ajinkya Rahane has done a fantastic job in the last three Tests in Australia. He is cool, calm and collected. He is quite decisive, and he doesn&#39;t get agitated. He is a fantastic leader. But I will leave him as vice-captain because I think Virat Kohli leads from the front,&quot; added Hogg.<\/p>\r\n",
