Pant: The Last Piece in India’s Jigsaw?

Rishabh Pant to play first World Cup game, replaces Vijay Shankar in the clash vs England

Is it going to be Pant or Vijay Shankar?

Well, the decision has been made. Rishabh Pant might be the candidate for fourth position also! But the main question is, is this the right decision or not?

There has been a lot of chatter on social media about this decision..

Rishabh Pant gets a game replacing Vijay Shankar. Uffffff... Finally 🙏

A lot of indian fans cheered in favour of the decision

So India confident enough to go with 5 bowlers and a bit of Jadhav and that means Vijay Shanker's utility is a bit reduced. Huge opportunity for Rishabh Pant. No 4 for your country is such a privilege. I hope he goes well.

Rishabh Pant is an aggressive selection. He’s such a dangerous batsman in the middle overs & if this is a high-scoring match his addition will boost India. He might rob them of some stability but they have that in abundance. He is arguably the last piece of India’s jigsaw. #CWC19

But, The Main Question Is...
