India's 2019 World Cup squad members: Where are they now?
Just a month ahead of the 2023 World Cup, it’s time to know about the players who helped Team India reach the semi-final in the 2019 edition of the distinguished ODI tournament.
8. Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant became part of India’s camp after Dhawan got ruled out due to his thumb injury. The left-handed wicketkeeper batter got a chance to make his World Cup debut against England at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground. In his maiden World Cup match, he contributed 32 runs off 29 deliveries to the team while chasing an enormous total of 338 runs.
The wicketkeeper batter continued his form against Bangladesh, scoring a swift 48 off 41, with seven boundaries (six fours and a maximum). However, in the big game against the Black Caps in the semi-final, he failed to showcase his best with the bat after the top-order collapse and gave his wicket to Mitchell Santner on 32.
The youngster played four matches in the competition and scored 116 runs at a strike rate of 89.23. Pant isn’t a part of India’s 2023 World Cup squad as he is yet to recover from the injuries he got in the accident on the Delhi-Dehradun national highway.
