Rishabh Pant faces competition from Dhruv Jurel and Ishan Kishan

Rishabh Pant's place as India's Test wicketkeeper-batter isn't quite as secure as it once was. In the warm-up against Sri Lanka Cricket XI he made 2 and 28. Dhruv Jurel spent the past year pushing for a specialist-batter role, racking up hundreds for India A and scoring his maiden Test century against the West Indies in Ahmedabad. Ishan Kishan has finally shown the attacking game he promised, both at the T20 World Cup and in a strong domestic stretch. MSK Prasad, former chairman of selectors, still believes Pant is non-negotiable for the SENA conditions where his record speaks loudest.
