NEW DELHI: 2022 has been a year where Rishabh Pant has been in and out of the T20I side, coinciding with the form being up and down too. In India's campaign at the Men's T20 World Cup, Pant was brought in for the last Super 12 game against Zimbabwe and semi-final against England, but didn't leave much impact.
Now Dinesh Karthik, the veteran wicketkeeper-batter who was preferred by the Indian team ahead of Pant for the lone keeper's slot since the Asia Cup and till the T20 World Cup match against Bangladesh, feels that the young left-hander be given a chance to open the batting for the side in T20Is as he can be attacking from the word go.
