Gavaskar pointed out that Samson’s inability to score big runs in the latter part of the IPL 2024 and the warm-up game against Bangladesh could tip the scales in Pant’s favor.
“In the last two-three matches [of IPL 2024], he didn’t quite get runs. So this was an opportunity for him actually, the match against Bangladesh. If he had scored about 50-60, then there would have been no question, but I do feel that the Indian selection committee will look at having Rishabh Pant as the keeper,” Gavaskar added.
India, who haven’t won an ICC trophy since 2013, will be hoping that the inclusion of Pant in the playing XI will strengthen their chances as they kick off their T20 World Cup campaign. Having secured a convincing 60-run win against Bangladesh in their warm-up game, India are set to face Ireland in their opening match on Wednesday.
