Why Ishan Kishan replaces Rishabh Pant?: Rishabh Pant is reported to be out of the Test series against England. On the first day of the fourth Test being played in Manchester, Rishabh Pant suffered an injury to his right leg, after which he was scanned. Pant has got a fracture in the scan, about which he has been advised to comfort for 6 weeks. Now the question is, who is not Pant? Indian selectors are seen searching for the answer as Ishaan Kishan. It is reported that Ishaan Kishan can join Team India before the 5th Test as a wicketkeeper batsman.
Why Ishaan Kishan’s chance?
Quoting BCCI sources, The Indian Express has written that Indian selectors can call Ishaan Kishan for the 5th Test. If this happens, Ishaan Kishan may seem to return after 2 years in India’s Test team. Ishaan Kishan played his last Test match against the West Indies in July 2023. At the same time, he played any last match for India as T20 in November 2023.
According to the report, the Indian selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar has contacted Ishaan Kishan to join the team. In such a situation, he can become a part of Team India in the 5th and last Test of the series played at the Oval. Now the question is why Ishaan Kishan only? So there can be 5 major reasons behind this, on which it can be said that Ishaan Kishan can become an alternative to Rishabh Pant in Team India.
Due to these 5 reasons, space can be found
The first is that both Rishabh Pant and Ishaan Kishan are wicketkeeper batsmen. Second, like Rishabh Pant, Ishaan Kishan also plays aggressive cricket. The third is the batting position. Ishaan Kishan will not have any problem in landing on that order in Team India, which Rishabh Pant was currently playing. The fourth reason is that Ishaan Kishan has given a brilliant batting batting in county cricket for Northamptanshar. He has scored two big scores like 87 and 77 runs. The 5th and last reason for Ishaan Kishan being elected may be that due to being played for county cricket and earlier India A, he will not have trouble in keeping pace in the atmosphere of England.
