Rishabh Pant is a good subject of debate in Indian cricket. Both, his inclusions as well as exclusions, make for talking points. The young wicketkeeper-batsman is once again in the centre of a storm after India's 0-2 Test drubbing in NZ.

While head coach Ravi Shastri justified Pant's inclusion saying he provided variety with his left-handed batting besides his good wicketkeeping against fast bowling in seaming New Zealand conditions, skipper Virat Kohli has refused to blame the series loss on any individual failure.
