Will Rishabh Pant get to bat during India vs South Africa 3rd T20I

Rishabh Pant until the Asia Cup was a regular member of the T20 team. However, the emergence of Dinesh Karthik as a finisher has made it difficult for Pant to break into the playing XI with Karthik being preferred by Rohit Sharma. The left-handed batsman will be hoping to get some batting during the final of the series in Indore on Tuesday, September 4. 

In his last 10 innings, Pant has managed to score above 30 just once. The final T20I match against South Africa will be Rishabh Pant final chance to impress the team management and try to find a place in the playing XI during the T20 World Cup. With KL Rahul reportedly not playing the 3rd T20I, Pant might get the chance to open the innings and he will look to make the chance count by positing a huge score against his name.
