As India prepares for the high-stakes ODI series against New Zealand, the absence of Rishabh Pant shifts the pressure onto the senior batting core. The series is critical for ICC ODI Championship points, and New Zealand’s formidable pace attack, led by Trent Boult, will look to exploit the gap left by Pant. Fans on social media have expressed their disappointment, making #RishabhPant trend as the team heads into a demanding away tour without their game-changer.
