Asia Cup 2022 / Dinesh Karthik may get a chance today Rishabh Pant's shot selection in question

Asia Cup 2022: India will face Sri Lanka on Tuesday in the Asia Cup. It is now a do or die situation for India to stay in the tournament. In view of the important match, Dinesh Karthik can be given a chance in Team India. In the last match, Rishabh Pant got a place instead of Karthik but his shot selection is under question.

Former cricketers Wasim Akram, Gautam Gambhir and Ravi Shastri have questioned Rishabh Pant's shot selection. Pant was dismissed early at a crucial time in the first innings at the Dubai International Stadium. Pant hit two fours in his 12-ball 14 before reverse sweeping Shadab Khan's delivery straight to backward point.

In the video that went online on social media, as soon as Pant returned to the dressing room, Rohit was seen asking him the reason for his shot. Pant was also seen telling the Indian captain the reason behind playing that shot.

Questions are being raised about Pant

After the match ended, Gambhir expressed his disappointment at Star Sports over the way Pant was dismissed. He said, "Rishabh Pant will be disappointed because it is not his shot. His shot is probably long-on or deep mid-wicket. But you get out playing the wrong shot, because your strength is not reverse-sweeping. ''

Akram also seemed to agree with Gambhir's views and said that in particular, he was telling Gambhir that at that stage of the game, there was no need to play that shot. I know he plays that shot in Test cricket. I know he is one of the top players in world cricket but that shot was not needed at this stage.

In T20 International, Rishabh Pant has not been able to impress despite playing more than 50 matches so far. India had given priority to Karthik instead of Pant in their first match of the Asia Cup. It is almost certain to return to Karthik's team once again.
