Pant was last seen in the T20I series against New Zealand. The southpaw is currently with the team for three-match Test series against South Africa starting on December 26. The 24-year-old is a vital player for India in the longest format of the game.
His ability to change the complexion of the game and win matches from any situation makes him a dangerous player. Pant can also play according to the situation, and help the team out of the precarious situation.
