Fans' hopes dashed, Rishabh Pant will not play in T-20 World Cup! You will be heartbroken to know the reason

 

Rishabh Pant: Team India is gearing up for the T20 World Cup 2024 these days. They have to play a practice match against Bangladesh on June 1, while on June 5 they will play their first official match against Ireland. Let us tell you that due to good performance in IPL 2024, the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar has included Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant in the Indian squad as wicketkeeper-batsmen for the T20 World Cup. But it is believed that Rishabh Pant will not be seen in action mode during this mega event.

Rishabh Pant will not get a chance

Both Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson have been selected for the T20 World Cup on the basis of their IPL 2024 performance. Rishabh showed a great performance for Delhi Capitals, while Sanju for Rajasthan Royals. However, Sanju's performance was better than Rishabh. In such a situation, captain Rohit Sharma and the team management can give preference to Sanju Samson over Rishabh Pant in the playing XI. Let us tell you how was the performance of both the players in IPL 2024?

This was the performance of both

Rishabh Pant scored 446 runs in 13 matches for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024 at an average of 40.55 and a strike rate of 155.40. During this, 3 half-centuries also came off his bat. This was Rishabh's first tournament after being injured in a road accident in December 2022.

At the same time, Sanju Samson played a big role in helping Rajasthan Royals reach the playoffs. He scored 531 runs in 15 matches at an average of 48.27 and a strike rate of 153.47, which also included 5 half-century innings.

Rishabh Pant was a victim of a road accident

Let us tell you that in December 2022, Rishabh Pant had a horrific road accident while returning from Delhi to his home in Roorkee. He was badly injured in this accident and narrowly escaped death. After this, he remained away from the cricket field for about one and a half years. Rishabh made a comeback to cricket through IPL 2024 and showed a brilliant performance and got a place in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup 2024.
