The Hindu
The Indian selectors have named Hardik in the T20 World Cup squad, but the Baroda all-rounder has not been bowling for Mumbai Indians, two years after undergoing a back surgery in the U.K.
The legendary Sunil Gavaskar feels that swashbuckling all-rounder Hardik Pandya not bowling in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) is a “big blow” for not just Mumbai Indians but also the T20 World Cup-bound Indian team.
The Indian selectors have named Hardik in the T20 World Cup squad, but the Baroda all-rounder has not been bowling for Mumbai Indians, two years after undergoing a back surgery in the U.K.
“Hardik Pandya, not bowling is a big blow, not just for Mumbai Indians, but for India as well, because he was taken in the team as an all-rounder. And if you are in the team, batting at No. 6 or No. 7 and you’re not able to bowl, then it makes it difficult for the captain.”
