KL Rahul might have failed in a couple of games, but that's not a big enough "sample size" to drop him and include Rishabh Pant at the top of the order, batting coach Vikram Rathour said on eve of the T20 World Cup match against South Africa on Sunday.

"No, we aren't really not thinking about that," Rathour dismissed the idea of Pant's inclusion for the time being.

"I don't think that's a good enough sample size anyway. He's been batting really well and also batted well in practice games. So we aren't changing anything," he was categorical in his reply.
