Moody Feels Pant Ahead In Keepers’ Race For T20 WC Squad; Srikkanth Picks Rahul Over Samson As Reserve Keeper
Star Sports Press Room Show: Tom Moody, the former Australia cricketer, thinks Rishabh Pant is ahead of other candidates in the race for the wicketkeeper-batter slots in India’s squad for the Men’s T20 World Cup.
The Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee is expected to select India’s 15-member squad by the end of this month for the mega event, to be held in the USA and West Indies from June 1. Pant made his return to competitive cricket last month through IPL 2024 after almost 15 months due to a life-threatening car crash.
Pant has so far scored 342 runs in nine innings of IPL 2024 for Delhi Capitals at an average of 48.86 and strike rate of 161.32. He has mainly batted in the middle order and slammed three half-centuries, the latest of which was an unbeaten 88 against Gujarat Titans on Wednesday. Pant has kept wickets in all of DC’s matches, taking ten catches and effecting three stumpings.
