The Indian team heroically won the test match series against Australia last month thanks to valiant knock from young superstar Rishabh Pant on the final day in Gabba. Now 2 weeks later, Rishabh Pant’s place in the playing 11 is being debated but the fact that it’s being debated itself is ridiculous according to many experts and pundits.

Rishabh Pant has to play 100% : Akash Chopra

Popular Star Sports pundit Akash Chopra has given his view on whether or not Rishabh Pant should be part of the playing 11. According to him, there should be no question of him being dropped. “ I feel Pant will play first because if you don’t play him now, how will you show your face and what reason you will give to him for not playing him. It is true that his keeping is not as good as Saha but he is not a goalkeeper, he is a keeper and takes good catches. He does drop catches, but who doesn’t drop catches. Tim Paine and Saha also dropped catches,” said Chopra in his YouTube channel. A fan had asked him the question and this was his response when he spoke in his YouTube channel.
