India should use Rishabh Pant as a floater in the T20I World Cup, opines Ricky Ponting

IPL 2022 concluded recently and the Indian team will now look forward to the T20I World Cup to be held later this year. The team will look forward to setting their team combination right and finalising the players they would want to play in the tournament. Rishabh Pant will be one of the vital players in the tournament as the batter-wicketkeeper can play with attacking intent. 

"But in certain situations, where it gets to a stage, where there are seven-eight overs to go and they are one-two down, then I will look at sending him in and giving as much time as possibly can. He is that dynamic and that explosive (player) and that is certainly the way I would look at trying to use him," Ponting said on ‘ICC Review’.

"He (Pant) is a wonderful player. An outstanding young man, who has got the world at his feet. And he'll be exceptionally dangerous for India, especially on the wickets we'll provide in Australia. good flat, fast, bouncy wickets. He'll be one of the players to watch out (for) in the tournament (World T20) for sure,” he explained.
