For his sheer "courage and dare", Rishabh Pant should always be a part of India's starting XI during the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022, feels former Australian great Adam Gilchrist. There has been a debate on who among the two should be in starting line-up and it seemed that Gilchrist's vote of confidence is in favour of the much younger Pant.

"The dare of Rishabh Pant and the courage in him, the way in which he takes on bowling attacks, I think he's got to be a must in that Indian line-up," Gilchrist was quoted as saying in an ICC release. "They can play together, but I think Rishabh Pant has definitely got to be in there." India included both Pant and Karthik in the 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia but the former's underwhelming record in T20Is might go against him.
