In 10 ODI innings in 2022, Pant has scored 336 runs at 37.33, striking at 96.55 (50s: 2, 100s: 1). Though these numbers look pretty decent, he was dismissed under 20 seven times.

Pant played 25 T20Is this year, scoring 364 runs at 21.41 (50s: 1). While the 25-year-old was dismissed under 10 seven times in this period, he could only breach the 30-run mark thrice.

Many believe Pant can bring out his best while opening. Though he has occasionally batted at the top in Indian colors, the southpaw hasn't returned with substantial scores.
