IND vs SA | Rishabh Pant might find it hard to be in the team if he continues to struggle, opines Irfan Pathan

"He has got stuck a lot, you will have to perform. As of now, you are doing the captaincy but it is possible that going forward a time might come where you might have to work hard to play in the XI," Irfan said on Star Sports.

"You already have Dinesh Karthik and Ishan Kishan as wicketkeepers in the playing XI and Sanju Samson is waiting, and KL Rahul (who can keep) is a name who I will always keep in my playing XI. I feel he (Rahul) is the best cricketer. So there is a lot of competition, you cannot keep your bat quiet for too long," he added.

In all his three dismissals, Pant was dismissed while trying to play a big hit on deliveries outside off stump. He was caught in the offside region near the boundary every single time in an attempt to clear the fence. Irfan Pathan decoded the reason behind his dismissal saying he is trying to hit the ball too hard on the off-side.
