Pant fought his way onto the T20 World Cup team and was instrumental in India’s victory in Barbados in June.

Before the two-Test series against Bangladesh, Pant participated in a Duleep Trophy match. In his first comeback Test, he displayed his bold and aggressive style by hitting a hundred that won the match.
For India to have a chance over the lengthy Test season, Pant is essential. For the next T20I series against Bangladesh, which begins on October 6, he has been rested. Pant is probably going to play in the upcoming October 16–17 three-Test series against New Zealand. He will also an integral part of India’s tour of Australia when the Asian giants will try to win a third successive Test series.
