3 Reasons why India should pick Rishabh Pant ahead of Ambati Rayudu for ICC World Cup 2019

#1 Referring to the current form in IPL 2019

Rishabh Pant has been having a better IPL season than Ambati Rayudu.

Indian Premier League 2019 would prove to be the main criterion for the selection of Indian squad for the World Cup. In this criterion, Pant is one step ahead of Rayudu as he has been having a blast in this year’s IPL. Pant has had a good IPL season thus far for his home franchise, Delhi Capitals.

Rishabh has scored 176 runs from 6 matches at an average of 35.20 which seems way better than Ambati Rayudu. Rayudu hasn’t been looking in great touch in this year’s IPL as compared to the previous one. He has been constantly struggling to score runs at a quick rate. However, due to this reason, MS Dhoni even shifted him to no 4 from the opening slot which in terms seems like a demotion.

So referring to these 3 reasons, India must go with Rishabh Pant ahead of Ambati Rayudu for World Cup 2019.
