T20 World Cup: Former India cricketer Suresh Raina said he wishes to see Rishabh Pant bat with more responsibility in the upcoming three-match ODI series against England and the Champions Trophy, adding that if the left-hander faces 40-50 deliveries, he can finish off the game well for the side.

On Saturday, Pant was named in India’s squads for the three ODIs at home against England, starting from January 22, and the Champions Trophy in February. It is uncertain if either Pant or KL Rahul will be India’s first-choice keeper-batter in their future 50-over assignments.

In 31 matches, Pant has amassed 871 runs at an average of 33.5, with his highest score being an unbeaten 125 against England in Manchester in 2022. "He has improved a lot on his wicket-keeping, (but) Rishabh Pant needs to play with more responsibility because this is a 50-over tournament. In the upcoming tournament with England you’ve got 5 T20Is and 3 One Days, this will be a good opportunity for Rishabh Pant.
