Rishabh Pant’s Crucial IPL 2025: A Path Back to India’s T20I Squad
Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra believes IPL 2025 presents a pivotal opportunity for Rishabh Pant to reclaim his spot in India’s T20 International team. Currently sidelined from the national T20 setup, Pant’s performance for the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be crucial in determining his future in the squad.
Chopra recently emphasized this point on his YouTube channel, stating, “Rishabh Pant has a big opportunity. This season is critical for him to score runs and make everyone take notice.” His explosive batting style has proven effective in Tests and ODIs, yet Pant has struggled to secure his position in the T20 format, where Sanju Samson has emerged as the first-choice wicketkeeper-batter.
Strategic Batting Positions
To maximize his impact, Chopra advises Pant to be strategic about his batting position. “You don’t have to compete with Sanju. Focus on establishing your own place. Batting at No. 3 or No. 4 could be ideal, depending on the match situation,” he suggested.
With the T20 World Cup looming, significant changes in the Indian T20I lineup are anticipated. Chopra noted, “The current T20 team may not be the same next year; selections will be dynamic.” For Pant, scoring runs and demonstrating strong leadership as LSG captain will be essential to re-entering the national conversation.
Opportunity Awaits
As IPL 2025 unfolds, all eyes will be on Rishabh Pant. With intense competition for spots in the upcoming T20 World Cup, this season may very well determine his international future.
