IND vs SA 5th T20I: With Bavuma out of the decider SA bring in Rabada; Pant play same playing XI  

Rishabh Pant's batting has once again come under scanner as his patchy form with the willow continues in the ongoing T20I series between India and South Africa. Pant was given the onus to spearhead the Men in Blue after KL Rahul suffered an injury on the eve of five-match T20I series opener against Proteas but the star southpaw seems to wilt under the captaincy pressure which hasn't yielded in anything positive. Meanwhile, ex-India cricketer Wasim Jaffer believes that when India have all players available, it will be difficult for Pant to find a place in the T20I playing XI.
