Saba Karim on Pant’s replacement: Team India’s star wicket Rishabh Pant became a victim of a car accident on December 30, 2022. In this he suffered many serious injuries. In such a situation, it is not possible for him to return to the field soon. Pant suffered injuries to his head, wrist, knee and ankle in the accident. The Indian team has to play a four test match series against Australia from February (9th February). Now in this series, which wicketkeeper will be included in the team instead of Pant, it remains a big question. Former Indian selector Saba Karim has given the answer to this. He has described this player as the perfect replacement.
Told this player the perfect replacement
Sab Karim took the name of Ishaan Kishan while answering this question. By the way, KS Bharat was being considered as the perfect replacement for Pant for this series. KS Bharat has been with Team India as a cover for Rishabh Pant in Tests. Speaking to India News, Saba Karim said, “I believe that KS Bharat is being groomed for the role of Test-keeping. I have full respect for him. But I think Ishaan Kishan will be the perfect replacement.
He further said, “Ishaan will be fine according to the role that Pant was playing in Test cricket. He is playing Ranji Trophy and he has scored a century at a fast pace. We were winning Tests in Pant’s presence because he not only played match-winning innings but also scored runs at a high rate. Due to this, pressure was being created on the front teams and the bowlers were getting time to take 20 wickets. Ishaan has not played red ball cricket for India A, but he has been playing domestic red ball cricket for a few years.
