India May Ditch Specialist Wicket-Keeper Plan, Play Only Rishabh Pant

By IANS News January 31, 2021 • 23:07 PM View: 2171

Rishabh Pant's match-saving and match-winning performances against Australia in the Sydney and Brisbane Tests may force the Indian team management to discard their old plan of playing Wriddhiman Saha at home and Pant outside Asia.

Although the team management is yet to finalize the eleven, the Indian team that faces England in the first Test from February 5 may feature Pant and not Saha, considering that India is likely to play five bowlers.
