T20 World Cup: No point in playing Hardik Pandya if he can't bowl 4 overs, says Brad Hogg

T20 World Cup: Brad Hogg said that playing Ishan Kishan would give India a better batting option than Hardik Pandya or play Ravichandran Ashwin after promoting Ravindra Jadeja to No.6, thus giving India an extra bowling option.

There is no point in picking Hardik Pandya if he is unable to bowl four overs, said former Australia spinner Brad Hogg. Pandya has bowled only sporadically in the last two years but raised hopes when a video from an Indian nets session showed him rolling his arms.

"Are India going to stick with Hardik Pandya at No. 6? If he can’t bowl four overs, there is no point in having him in the line-up. I would go with Ishan Kishan if you want to have six frontline batters. But you could also have Ravindra Jadeja going up at No. 6, bringing in Ravichandran Ashwin. You have extra batting depth and also an extra bowler there," Hogg said.
