IPL 2021: Is Hardik Pandya fit to bowl? Mumbai Indians all-rounder shares positive update

Ever since Hardik Pandya underwent back surgery, he has not been bowling regularly.

Sharjah: Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians all-rounder Hardik Pandya gave a positive update on his return to the bowling crease, saying he would do it soon.

"Runs are important and especially when your team wins. It was important for my personal confidence but to score for the team was important. We have to assess the wicket and adapt on the given time. The plans have to be simple and win over obstacles ball-by-ball. There's no option, but one thing is that these situations bring out the best in you."

"We realise it is a do-or-die game, but we are just focusing on the controllabes," Hardik told host broadcaster Star Sports before the game against DC.
