With the status of KL Rahul's participation being in doubt, now there is a chance that Ishan Kishan would be considered to play as a first-choice wicket-keeper batsman and also Sanju Samson could be included in the squad despite his poor form, thus Pant's absence would have a huge impact on India's chance of winning the WC tournament.
