The coach also praised young leg-spinner Rahul Chahar
All-rounder Hardik Pandya did not bowl in the last three IPL games due to a shoulder niggle that he picked up during the final ODI against England, said Mumbai Indians head coach Mahela Jayawardene on Monday. "We were looking forward for him to be bowling this season. He was coming back from an injury already, but after those matches against England, the last ODI, I believe he picked up a niggle, so that is something that we are nursing at the moment," Jayawardene said during a virtual press-conference. The former Sri Lankan batsman, however, hoped that Hardik will be able to return to bowling in the next few weeks.
