Rishabh Pant has been in splendid form in the ongoing Duleep Trophy and his inclusion now further intensifies the competition for the wicket-keeper batsman slot in the playing XI.
In his absence, KL Rahul carried the middle order of the Indian Cricket Team on his back and saved the side on numerous occasions with his scintillating knocks.
Upon dropping KL Rahul, the Rohit Sharma-led side found two new faces in the form of Dhruv Jurel and Sarfraz Khan, and both the cricketers capped their debut series against England in a comprehensive manner, as they notched up vital runs which helped India thrash the visitors 4-1 earlier in the year.
