Rishabh Pant's Role Dilemma: Is He Losing His Spot in Team India?

• Rishabh Pant's white-ball performance has been inconsistent, leading to his exclusion from the T20 team for a year and upcoming New Zealand ODI series.
• Despite being in recent ODI squads, he often misses the playing XI as KL Rahul is the preferred wicketkeeper-batsman.
• Former cricketer Deep Dasgupta emphasizes Pant needs clarity on his T20 role: top-three, middle order, or finisher.
• Dasgupta suggests Pant is best suited as a top-three batsman in T20Is and at number 4 or 5 in ODIs.
• Pant is advised to consistently score runs in domestic and white-ball matches to solidify his position and understand his game.

Why It Matters: Pant faces uncertainty over his role and place in Team India's white-ball formats.
