Pant has gone out of favour in India's white-ball setup: Badrinath

Ex-India cricketer Subramaniam Badrinath opined that Rishabh Pant has gone out of favour within India's white-ball setup. "They are seeing him only as a red-ball player," he added, noting that "if Pant has to create headlines in white-ball cricket, the upcoming IPL 2026 season is huge for him". Badrinath remarked that Pant hasn't been consistent in last two IPL seasons.
