If the Indian team’s voters and management are looking to assess Hardik Pandya Bowling during a limited Indian overs tour in Sri Lanka, the initial signs do not look good.
Sporting Bandana, the All-Rounder has divided a total of nine overs in the first two odi, where he conceded 54 walks while taking a goal.
On Tuesday, in the second Odi at the Premadasa Stadium, the Baroda man bent up was only four, where he gave 20 walks and did not choose the goal.
To worsen it, he came out for two ball ducks, driving captain Sri Lanka Dashun Shanaka directly into the middle of the goal.
Concerns, the sailor was seen holding his waist and grimacing in pain, raising concerns that his severe lower back injury – which had forced him to miss a lot of cricket and needed a massive operation in 2019 – may have blazed again.
Despite the fact that he looked at pain, it was also a little about that the 27-year-old boy looked rather delicious with the ball so far, which could be understood considering he was not a bowl in the IPL this summer.
He had played as the third sailor on the side, but if he kept a bowl so flat and so little, then India had to think hard before they consider it a complete all-round for the T20 World Cup in the UAE.
Former Indian Off-Spinner Sarandeep Singh, who is a national voter until last year, felt that hardik was less bowling in the ODI series when the team looked at him to give a quota of four per match at the T20 World Cup.
“He had an injury problem in the past.
He was almost no bowling in Odis lately.
Maybe, he was just a bowling 4-5 overs (per game in the ODI series) because they looked at him as a bowler also at the T20 World Cup, and he came From injury, “said Sarandeep Toi.
However, the former voter wants a hardik for bats in No3, and not 6.
“There are no questions about the ability to hit him very big.
However, considering he is a key player for India in T20IS, it makes sense to send orders without 3 not Ishan Kishan.
