Rishabh’s form is fantastic: Ganguly

Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly said Rishabh Pant is ‘fully fit’, suggesting that the wicketkeeper-batter would need some more time to prepare himself for India’s team selection for the upcoming T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA.

“Let a few more matches go. He is doing very well. As you all must have seen, you know, (wicket) keeping, batting. He has held up well. His form has been fantastic, especially the way he has batted in the last two games. Let another week go by, and I’ll be able to answer that question… provided the selectors want to pick him — that’s most important. He’s fit, fully fit,” Ganguly said.

Pant is currently the fourth-highest run-getter in IPL 2024, having scored 152 runs in four matches at a strike rate of nearly 160.
