Rishabh Pant says it feels bad to be out of India's ODI setup

Rishabh Pant said it feels bad to be out of India's ODI squad, but he insisted an athlete's mindset turns setbacks into comebacks. He hasn't played an ODI since August 2024 and was left out of the West Indies series again.

KL Rahul has settled in as India's main wicketkeeper-batter, with Ishan Kishan and Dhruv Jurel also ahead of him. Pant noted that international cricket is changing, and sometimes players have to wait for their chance.

The 31-year-old knows how hard he's working and says he's clear on what he needs to do to stay ready. It's easier to pass opinions, he added, than to sit and wait for things to happen.
