The victory was won in the absence of Kohli
In this Australia, Rishabh Pant emerged as the biggest match winner. In the absence of Virat Kohli, when Team India was playing the Test series here in 2020-2021, Pant scored an unbeaten 89 at the same Brisbane Gabba ground to win the Test match for India on the last day. India created history by scoring 329 runs. Breaking the pride of the Kangaroos, India won the series 2-1.
There will be no greater hero than him
After this match, it was said about Pant that no one would be a bigger match winner than him. He became a hero after going to Australia at such a young age and playing many match-winning innings one after the other. After that he was expected to perform the same in ODIs and T20s too, but he could not replicate the form of Test in all three formats. This is the reason why he kept going in and out in the Asia Cup, while in the first practice match he did not get a chance to bat.
Have more faith in Dinesh Karthik
It will come as a surprise to any player that he should not be kept in the team on the same ground where he became the match winner. Rohit Sharma said before the match that he knows which 11 players will play in the playing XI. He seems to be relying more on Dinesh Karthik, who made Team India champion by hitting a six off the last ball of the Nidahas Trophy.
