Rishabh Pant's position in the Indian ODI squad for the New Zealand series is uncertain due to inconsistent form and a lack of recent game time. Selectors face a dilemma, balancing Pant's potential against in-form players and considering bowling combinations. Dropping him without a chance could be seen as harsh, especially as he hasn't played an ODI in 18 months despite being in squads. His batting style also reportedly faces internal scrutiny.
