When Will Rishabh Pant Get A Go In Playing Xi? Suresh Raina Weighs In Ahead Of Pakistan Clash

One of the finest cricketers in the game, Rishabh Pant hasn't had the best of year from a personal perspective in limited-overs cricket. When it comes to T20I cricket, Pant's spot has been overtaken by Dinesh Karthik whose finishing prowess has been duly rewarded by the team management. A T20 World Cup-winner, Suresh Raina feels Pant will come back into the playing XI one or two games into the tournament. In a way, Raina has hinted that that the left-handed wicket-keeper batter might not get into the playing XI against Pakistan.

"He Will Control The Game": Suresh Raina Picks India's "Go-To Man" At T20 World Cup. It's Not Virat Kohli Or Rohit Sharma

The eyes of all cricket fans are focussed on just one direction right now - the T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. Most of the teams have already reached Down Under as the action begins on Sunday. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team is one of the heavyweights going into the tournament, however, it had to tackle few injury problems in the buildup to the marquee event. India will be without star allrounder Ravindra Jadeja and pacer Jasprit Bumrah - both of whom were injured. While all other top players are fit, Suresh Raina, member of India's 2011 50-over World Cup-winning team, gave his take on the player who will 'control the game' for the 'Men in Blue'.

With the T20 World Cup just days away, it's the final stage of preparation for all the teams. For India, it's is still not clear what their ideal playing XI should look like. The team is full of big names and some awesome hitters. However, with Ravindra Jadeja not part of the squad due to injury, there is a dearth of left-handers in the team. Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is one of the options but his form in T20s has not been great of late. However, member of 2011 World Cup-winning team Suresh Raina feels that a space needs to be created for him.

Former India all-rounder Suresh Raina was a destructive batter and very handy with the ball. But another aspect of his game that made him such a huge asset to whichever team he played for was his excellent fielding. Raina was always a gun fielder, athletic and quick. And even though he has retired from professional cricket, he has still not lost his electric abilities on the field. During a Road Safety World Series match between India Legends and Australia Legends, Raina took a spectacular catch that would make one wonder why he is still not playing.
