Stating that all-rounder Hardik Pandya’s bowling will be important in the ICC World Cup starting from October 5, former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar stressed that India’s triumph in the 2011 edition was because pure batters like Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh bowled whenever needed.
“Hardik Pandya’s form is a little bit of concern, his bowling because you will have to do a lot of physical work in the world Cup because you need him as the all-rounder not just a batter so at least 6-7 over per innings is what is expected from him. When India won the world in 2011, it was because of people like Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh pure batters who bowled a bit, so Hardik Pandya’s bowling is very important,” Manjrekar told exclusively to Star Sports on ‘Follow the Blues’, regarding on Hardik Pandya’s role as an all-rounder in Team India.
