Team India's T20 World Cup 2016 squad members: Where are they now?
Only five Indian players from the T20 World Cup 2016 squad are set to feature in the upcoming 2022 T20 World Cup.
8. Hardik Pandya
The then 22-year-old allrounder failed to make an impact with both bat and ball during the 2016 T20 World Cup, his first major ICC tournament. Hardik scored 16 runs in two innings and took only five wickets in five innings, and also turned out to be pretty expensive with a poor economy rate of 10.21 in the event.
Hardik has been impressive with consistent wickets in T20I cricket after the 2016 World T20 and made his ODI debut in October 2016. Hardik also broke into the Test squad in late 2016 but struggled for consistency with both bat and ball.
As far as Tests are concerned, he last played in the Southampton Test against England in 2018 but is India's key player in both the white-ball teams. He was handed captaincy duties during the two-match T20I series against Ireland in June 2022.
Hardik has played a crucial role in Mumbai Indians' success in the recent IPL seasons but was released after the 2021 edition. Gujarat Titans, new entrants, signed and named Hardik captain ahead of the 2022 season, where he guided the team to the title by scoring 487 runs and taking eight wickets.
