IND vs WI 2022: "Rishabh Pant carrying legacy MS Dhoni left behind"- Fans roast India star for another failure in T20Is

Rishabh Pant has once again failed to make the most of the chances he is getting in the shortest format for Team India. The 24-year-old was dismissed for just 14 off 12 balls against West Indies in the first T20I at Trinidad.The team management promoted Suryakumar Yadav to the top of the order and made their intentions indirectly clear that they will look at Pant as a No.4 batter in the T20 World Cup.However, the southpaw once again struggled against deliveries outside the off-stump, which is a weakness every team has begun to target.Fans on Twitter were baffled to see Rishabh Pant not open with Rohit Sharma, despite the two opening in the last two T20Is against England. They trolled the left-hander and felt he was just not the right choice to bat in the middle-order in T20Is.Here are some of the reactions:AaryanSRTFan@aaryanspamAlthough I like Pant, Pant the T20 batsmen doesn’t move me41Although I like Pant, Pant the T20 batsmen doesn’t move meRohitSharmaFC@WhiteLi81034351Fun fact: Rishabh Pant has scored all 3 t20I fifties against West Indies11Fun fact: Rishabh Pant has scored all 3 t20I fifties against West Indiesviroot@Imsahil_11Project Pant is taking a lots of time21Project Pant is taking a lots of timeMandeep@VK__Goat18_Rishabh pant is carrying the legacy which dhoni left behind in t20is #IndvsWI13Rishabh pant is carrying the legacy which dhoni left behind in t20is #IndvsWIRam@Flick_of_wristsPant in t20is559Pant in t20is https://t.co/DaBdHvg4OWAbhishek choudhary@TheRealAbhiRajPlease don't troll Rishabh Pant he is only 24He has also done very good in ODI and Test so if you want match winners than consider Pujara too in T20i he has also done very good in test51Please don't troll Rishabh Pant he is only 24He has also done very good in ODI and Test so if you want match winners than consider Pujara too in T20i he has also done very good in testSaket Patel.@runsandrunssHate to say this but pant has been a liability in t20is.

That's not something that will sort out on its own.374Personally, I think India will put out their best side if they do away with Pant (for now).Pant's issues in the shorter formats are longstanding and well-understood: an inability to take on wide lines when the field is out.

Dinesh Karthik take India to 190 despite middle-order failureSuryakumar Yadav once again proved why he is a versatile T20 batter as he gave the Men in Blue the ideal start at the top of the order. This allowed Rohit Sharma to get his eye in and play second fiddle.But the 31-year-old's long-lasting problem against left-arm spin was once again exposed as Akeal Hosein dismissed him. Shreyas Iyer also failed to make his opportunity count as he didn't trouble the scorers.Pant did get a couple of streaky boundaries, but he didn't look convincing at the crease at all.Hardik Pandya also had a rare failure, but Rohit continued to show good form as he brought up his half-century and also became the highest run-scorer in T20Is.After the 35-year-old's wicket, it looked like India would struggle to reach the 170-run mark. However, Dinesh Karthik showed what he is capable of and perhaps why he deserves a spot in India's T20 World Cup squad.The 37-year-old scored 41 runs off just 19 balls and helped India get to 190/6. Although they will be happy with the total, the Men in Blue will need to figure out their middle-order muddle before the T20 World Cup.
