Rishabh Pant "Lacked In Captaincy" In 1st T20I vs South Africa: Former Pakistan Star
After India went down to South Africa in the first T20I in New Delhi, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria criticised Rishabh Pant's captaincy. India put on a huge total of 211/4, but stunning knocks from Rassie van der Dussen and David Miller saw the visitors chase it down with five deliveries to spare. Kaneria slammed Pant's tactics and said he "rotated the bowlers poorly". He cited the use of Yuzvendra Chahal in the Powerplay and giving Hardik Pandya just one over as examples.

Ricky Ponting Says "He'd Be Surprised If" This India Star Is Not In T20 World Cup Squad
Impressed by his performances during the Indian Premier League (IPL 2022), former Australia captain Ricky Ponting feels veteran wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik should be in India's squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia. Karthik scored 330 runs during IPL 2022 for RCB , striking at an impressive strike rate of 183.33. As a result, Karthik was recalled to the Indian side after almost three years for the ongoing five-match T20I series against South Africa. Ponting said that he'll be surprised if Karthik fails to find a place in the Indian squad for the T20 World Cup later this year.

Leading India for the first time ever, Pant had to swallow a bitter pill when David Miller and Rassie van der Dussen shot down an imposing 212 with utmost nonchalance to go up 1-0 in the series. The southpaw also had a forgettable Indian Premier League 2022 where he failed to lead Delhi Capitals to the playoffs.
