Pant, who has been backed by the Indian team management as their first-choice wicketkeeper, has played 15 ODIs but has only managed 346 runs.
India batting coach Vikram Rathour on Saturday backed underfire Rishabh Pant and felt the young stumper carries immense ability.
After opting to bat first, Bangladesh were bundled out for 150 runs in the first innings before India rode opener Mayank Agarwal's double ton to post 493/6.
He also insisted that there shouldn't be too much of changing and chopping within the team while preparing for the next year's T20 World Cup.
Kohli was trapped in front by Anrich Nortje for 12 and it looked plumb, but the ace batsman reviewed it to no avail.
Rathour stated that it was Rohit Sharma’s grit and determination to play cautiously against the new ball with pacers like Kagiso Rabada bowling in good areas which made the difference.
It was the middle order that eventually saw India getting knocked out of the recently concluded World Cup.
Kohli became the fastest batsman to score 9,000 runs in ODIs during the series-deciding third game.
