India, March 12 -- Rishabh Pant will be eager to push his case for a return to India's limited-overs sides, and the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League could provide the perfect stage to do so. The wicketkeeper batter became the costliest buy in the auction after attracting a massive bid of INR 27 crore, but his campaign with the bat failed to match the hype. Apart from one century, his performances remained underwhelming through the tournament, and the hundred arrived when his side was already out of the race. Pant finished the season with 269 runs from 14 matches, his best being an unbeaten 118. He ended with a strike rate of 133.16, numbers that fell short of the expectations surrounding him.
