Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has questioned the team management for not utilising Rishabh Pant effectively. Pant last played an ODI in August 2024. He was recently picked in India's 15-member squad for the upcoming series against New Zealand.
Chopra could not digest the fact that Pant was picked in the ODI setup but hardly ever trusted to be a part of the XI. He felt the think tank missed out on playing the left-handed batter during certain matches where he could have been tested.
Chopra opined Pant could have been played in all three matches against South Africa to assess the latter's form. The renowned commentator believed that the 28-year-old may not get an opportunity in the near future.
