They will take advantage of the opportunity and have an impact. I hope that he will perform well in the Champions Trophy.

IPL connection

What do you say data?

Rishabh Pant has got a lot of opportunities in all three formats in the Indian team. If you look at his ODI career, after making his debut in 2018, he has scored 871 runs in 31 ODIs scoring 1 century and 5 half -centuries. Pant's performance in the T20 World Cup was very simple. It has to be seen whether he is able to perform as per Zaheer in the Champions Trophy.
