Unfair on Rutu and Pant? | #INDvsNZ | #Aakashvani

India’s No.4 problem in ODI cricket refuses to go away. Looking at the last few ODI series, one question keeps coming back — what exactly is Team India’s plan for the No.4 position? Rishabh Pant was seen as a back-up option, yet since 2023 he’s been given just one ODI game. Ruturaj Gaikwad scored a century, and still found himself out of the playing XI soon after. If that’s the case, why play him at all? And should Pant have been trusted more consistently instead?
