Pant's ODI Spot in Jeopardy: Kishan, Samson, Jurel Vie for New Zealand Series

• Rishabh Pant faces being dropped from New Zealand ODIs due to poor form in Vijay Hazare Trophy and limited ODI appearances since his accident.
• Ishan Kishan is a strong contender, showcasing excellent form with a blistering century in the VHT and a good Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
• Sanju Samson, despite a century in his last ODI (Dec 2023), hasn't played List A cricket for two years, weakening his immediate case.
• Dhruv Jurel is also in superb VHT form with a century and two fifties, potentially retaining his spot from the South Africa ODIs.
• The upcoming New Zealand ODIs will also see the return of batting greats Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, adding significant buzz.

Why It Matters: Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, and Dhruv Jurel are strong contenders to replace Rishabh Pant for the New Zealand ODIs.
