Opening up the possibility of returning all-rounder to the all-rounder T20 World Cup 2021 match against New Zealand, offering India the long-awaited sixth bowling option bottom.
India is in a winning position after being hit by 10 wickets from Pakistan. If Hardik can’t put it in the bowl, the page will be out of balance.
The last look back in the Sri Lankan series in July, the all-rounder did not throw a single rollover to Mumbai Indians on the IPL UAE stage.
On Wednesday, Hardik completed a fitness exercise in a short sprint under the supervision of strength and conditioning trainer Sohum Desai and physiotherapist Nitin Patel.
Hardik did not enter the field after the Indian inning because he had a shoulder injury. While defeating Pakistan and had to scan.
Then he bowled on one of the nets at Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shardul Thakur for almost 20 minutes. Indian head coach Ravi Shastri and mentor Mahendra Singh Doni watched Hardik’s progress closely.
After a short bowling stay, Hardik accepted a throw from punch trainer Vikram Rathour. Hardik only played as a batter against Pakistan. But he didn’t live up to his expectations and scored only 11 out of 8 balls.
With Hardik joining the T20 World Cup team. Frowned upon by fitness concerns, India was forced to change the roster to 15 people. And reserve player Shah Dar Takul replaced Axor Patel.
