Pant once again failed to deliver with the bat scoring 10 runs in 16 balls in the third ODI. Tharoor onced againt tweet " One more failure for Pant, who clearly needs a break from white-ball cricket. One more opportunity denied to @IamSanjuSamson who now has to wait for the @IPL to show that he’s one of the best too-order bats in India. #IndvsNZ.” 

Fans also took to twitter to vent frustrartion over Pant's continued selection, some sarcastically commenting that he deserved captaincy for his consistently poor form
