Just when we thought that Rishabh Pant would emerge as a hero in the third game of India vs West Indies decider which is currently going on at the Barabati Cricket Stadium in Odisha, the wicket-keeper batsman made way to the pavilion on the score of seven runs. The 22-year-old was sent back to the dressing room by Keemo Paul on the score of seven from six balls. India was just handling the pressure of Shreyas Iyer departing on the score of seven but with the departure of Pant, the scene worsened. India Vs West Indies, Live Cricket Score 3rd ODI Match.
Needless to say that the netizens were angry and they lashed out at the wicket-keeper batsman and said that he did not deserve more chances in the team. A few of them posted funny memes for the same. The cricket lovers said that Sanju Samson should be picked in place of the cricketer while others lashed out at the BCCI for selecting him in the team. One of them even said that Dinesh Karthik suffered because of Pant. Check out a few tweets below:
#RishabhPant is really very good for advertisements and glamour. Baaki....
Poor Dinesh Kartik got less than half the chances but never got justice. Time to get Samson in the side.

He needs to play domestic cricket
Will you again go for investing in Pant for upcoming series, let him play some ranji games and prove his talent.
There are many other talented players in country, I am feeling that country is having only one Wicket keeper.#RishabhPant
