Right, I didn't give thought about the workload management but lately he is being part of every match especially since his comeback from every match, isn't it? On that basis Pant seems to be the automatic choice for being captain and his test performance has always been great so when the captain performance it always pushes the players to perform well too.
Surely, you would have not thought about it. But, If someone important like me will you be able to ignore or are someone not from the shore? Tell me fast as I lost a positive remark which now makes me question? For me, he was someone I was supposed to look up whereas now I am sure he should be ditched.
