Rishabh Pant's T20 World Cup Snub: Aggressive Style Disfavored by Team India
- •Rishabh Pant is likely out of the T20 World Cup squad due to team management's disapproval of his aggressive white-ball batting style.
- •The management prefers a more traditional, controlled approach for limited-overs formats, as per a PTI report.
- •Pant last played an ODI/T20I for India in 2024; KL Rahul, Sanju Samson, and Jitesh Sharma are now prioritized.
- •His recent performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy (one half-century in four matches) did not help his case.
- •Pant's place in the Test team remains secure, where he is a regular member and vice-captain.
Why It Matters: Rishabh Pant's aggressive white-ball batting style is causing his exclusion from India's limited-overs squads.
