Fans took to social media to express their concerns about Rishabh Pant’s poor form in the ongoing IPL season, questioning his place in the national team, especially in T20 cricket. Despite being the most expensive player this season at ₹27 crore, Pant has only managed to score 128 runs in 11 matches, with an average just above 12 and a strike rate below 100. The lack of impactful performances has led to widespread criticism online, with many questioning his value and future in the Indian setup.
After another disappointing match where Pant’s team failed to chase down a target of 237 runs, finishing at 199/7, the pressure on him has increased. Despite the mounting criticism, Pant remains optimistic and believes his team can turn things around in the remaining matches. However, it remains to be seen whether he can silence his critics and regain his form, both in the IPL and the national team. The debate on social media continues, with fans divided on whether Pant should still be a part of India’s plans, especially with the T20 World Cup approaching.
