Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant put in extra work during the practice session ahead of the first ODI of the three-match series against New Zealand. Pant decided to keep training even after others finished, while Virat Kohli skipped the practice session before the match, which is set to begin on January 11.
Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul are the two wicketkeeper-batters named in India's 15-member squad. Pant was not included in the playing XI in the previous ODI series against South Africa, even when Shreyas Iyer was available, and it appears unlikely that he will get an opportunity in the upcoming series either.
