The BCCI is yet to announce Team India squad for World Cup, but Rishabh Pant is likely for a National Team return. Both SouravGanguly and Ricky Ponting believes, that Rishabh Pant can make it to Team India squad for the ICC T20 World Cup.

Both SouravGanguly and Ricky Ponting has backed Rishabh Pant. The duo are confident that Rishabh will make it to Team India squad for the T20 World Cup. Ganguly claimed that Rishabh Pant’s ideal batting position should be in the middle order. That is where he is most versatile and also gives India a chance to pile up some big scores.

While talking about the chances of Pant of making it to T20 World Cup SouravGanguly said, “I think so, yeah, I think yes. Only 15 can make it, but as in any sport it happens, the most equipped and the better ones play and I think Pant is definitely in that bracket, I’m sure he’ll be going to West Indies.”

“He should bat in the middle order. Where exactly is very difficult to say in T20 cricket, because of [factors like] match-ups, right-left combinations depending on who bowls, the situation of the game. It’s probably not possible for anyone – right from no. 3 to 7 – to say with surety what their fixed position is. It doesn’t work like that in T20 cricket especially,” Ganguly added.
