Irfan Pathan | ‘Ishan Kishan and Karthik are in XI, Sanju is waiting outside’; Irfan Pathan warns the ball

Mumbai: Former India captain Irfan Pathan has warned captain Rishabh Pant that he will continue to be in poor form in the Twenty20 series once morest South Africa. Pathan says it will be difficult to retain a place in the team if he does not perform well yet. Pathan pointed out that Ishant Kishan and Dinesh Karthik are inside and Sanju Samson is outside, waiting for a chance as wicketkeeper.

KL Rahul can also be behind the wicket. Rahul is a player who is always in my XI. Rahul is a great cricketer. So the competition is fierce. Irfan Pathan says with Rishabh ball that you can’t keep your bat silent for a long time.

‘The ball has not put up a good performance so far in the series. It is true that he is currently the captain of the ball team. But if you do not perform well, you will soon lose your place in the team, ”said Pathan.

‘Already wicketkeepers Ishant Kishan and Dinesh Karthik are in the playing XI. Sanju Samson is out waiting for an opportunity. KL Rahul, who is also a wicket-keeper, is a regular in the team. My opinion is that Rahul is the best player. It is a tough competition to get a place in the team. He will not be able to stay in the team for long due to poor form, ”added Pathan.

‘Twenty20 belongs to the ball. I believe so. There is no doubt that the ball is a superstar. He is only 24 years old. If he can play for the next 10 years, he will become a first-class cricketer. But the reality is that the performance is not coming out now .’- Pathan explained.

The ball, which was captained in the absence of KL Rahul in the series, is in bad form as a batsman. His performance in the three matches so far in the series is 29, 5 and 6. India lost the first two matches and won the third.
