Has Team India got Pant’s replacement? Pietersen suggested the name of the explosive youth

New Delhi. Young wicket-keeper player Rishabh Pant is running out of the Indian team after being injured in a car accident. In his absence, the team has tried many wicketkeeper players, but he has not been able to do much to fill his place. In particular, Pant was proving to be very effective for the blue team while batting in the Test format. Till when Pant will return to the team after recovering, there is no concrete news at the moment. In such a situation, the selectors are working on their options.

Kevin Pietersen suggests Pant’s alternative:

Former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has suggested a name to the Indian team as an alternative to Rishabh Pant. It is none other than Jitesh Sharma, the explosive batsman of Punjab Kings. KP said in a column in an English newspaper that Jitesh Sharma is a special talent. If Pant is not able to return to the team then India should think about Jitesh.
