Team India’s star player-batsman Rishabh Pant may soon get a big shock. According to the report of news agency PTI, Indian selectors are considering the selection of their vice captain in the team from the Test. The team feels that the extra responsibility is having an impact on Pant’s portfolio.
After Rohit Sharma’s retirement from Test cricket, Shubman Gill was made the captain of the Indian team as the eldest player, while Rishabh Pant got the responsibility of vice-captain. But now questions have been raised over his role ahead of the one-off Test against Afghanistan next month. The selection committee is trying to ensure that the responsibility of leadership is affecting the natural game of Rishabh Pant.
According to the source in the report, it was said, ‘Indian cricket cannot afford to spoil a match winner like Rishabh Pant. Whenever he gets additional responsibility, his patents and sweater are visible. According to the theory, the selectors want Pant to focus only on his aggressive game without any pressure.

Rishabh Pant played for the Indian team for the first time in the presence of Shubman Gill in the bylaw test against South Africa in November 2025. However, in that game, Team India had to face a shameful defeat by 408 wickets. After this, questions are continuously being asked on his electronics and electronics.
In 2025, Rishabh Pant scored 629 runs in 7 test matches. During this period, he also scored two centuries and four centuries, but except two big innings against England, he could not perform as per expectations in the remaining matches. His bat remained completely calm in the South Africa series. Pant’s scores in that series were 27, 2, 7 and 13.
If Rishabh Pant becomes the vice-captain, then KL Rahul can become a big option for the team. Rahul has been a part of the team earlier also and his place in the Test team remains almost stable.
According to Siddhant, in the meeting of Ajit Agarkar’s anti-confidence selection committee held on May 19. A major decision can be taken regarding the team as well as the vice-captaincy of Rishabh Pant for the Test match against Afghanistan.
