Sydney slip-ups fuels debate about whether India should drop their Pant

India's Rishabh Pant looks at Will Pucovski of Australia after he dived to make his ground during day one of the third Test match in the series between Australia and India at Sydney Cricket Ground on January 7 2021 in Sydney, Australia. Picture: GETTY IMAGES/MARK KOLBE

Since Pant’s Test debut in 2018, India have faced the dilemma whether to pick 36-year-old Saha, considered technically the best glovesman in India, or Pant who is far more flamboyant with the bat. Pucovski was on 26 when he edged Ravichandran Ashwin but Pant, standing up to the off-spinner, spilt the catch.

Saha kept wickets in the first Test in Adelaide but Pant replaced him in Melbourne and has retained his place in Sydney.
