Rishabh Pant Should Replace Shreyas Iyer Or Sanju Samson In India's ODI, T20I Squads: Brad Hogg

Former Australia all-rounder Brad Hogg has called on the Indian selectors to include Rishabh Pant in India's limited-overs squads saying that the batsman's ability to play unconventional shots makes him difficult to bowl to.

"I would be putting him there right now because he has got confidence and belief. He has proven himself with two match-winning knocks in this Test series. You can't get better than that playing for India on Australian soil. I would put him in place of Iyer. Keep your all-round options there for batting and bowling depth. He will be there for either Iyer or Sanju Samson," said Hogg on his Youtube channel.

"He is hard to bowl to because he plays a variety of shots that are different from any other batsman. Get him in there," added Hogg.

Pant scored 97 on the fifth day of the Sydney Test, helping India escape with a draw. He then made an unbeaten 89 on the fifth day of the Brisbane Test to help India win the match by three wickets and seal the series.
