HIGHLIGHTS

• Pant and Karthik should be in India’s T20 WC squad ahead of Kishan: Ricky Ponting
• Ponting has worked closely with Rishabh Pant at Delhi Capitals
• Ponting suggested India should include Pant and Karthik with Hardik

former Australia captain Ricky Ponting reckons that the Indian team management should pick Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik ahead of Ishan Kishan in the squad for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia.

Pant affirmed his status as a match winner in the white-ball format with his maiden ODI hundred against England in the third ODI of the recently concluded series. He is yet to find his rhythm in the T20Is.

As for Karthik, he earned a recall to the Indian squad after a very successful IPL season for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Karthik also performed well in the South Africa T20Is to justify his place in the team.

Ponting has worked closely with Rishabh Pant at Delhi Capitals and is well aware of his strengths, while the former Australia captain thinks veteran all-rounder Dinesh Karthik must also fill a spot in India’s middle-order.

“We have seen what Rishabh is capable of in 50-over cricket and I know absolutely what he is capable of in the T20 game,” Ponting said on the latest episode of The ICC Review.
