T20 World Cup 2021: India's predicted playing XI for Pakistan clash
As India will take on Pakistan to kick start their World Cup campaign, here is India’s predicted playing XI for the opening game.
6. Hardik Pandya
Hardik Pandya has been one of India’s best all-rounders over the span of a few years now. However ever since he has made his return from the injury, he hasn’t been able to bring any impactful performances to the fore. Both for India and in the IPL as well, Pandya hasn’t looked in the best of his form.
Also, it is still unclear if he will bowl his quota of overs in the World Cup. If Hardik bowls in the tournament, India might go with an extra spinner in the side, depending on the asks of the condition. He was last seen bowling during the limited-overs series against England and Sri Lanka.
More recently he played a belligerent knock against PBKS in the UAE leg of the IPL and that came as a huge sigh of relief. He anchored the innings well and scored 40 runs off 30 balls. One knows that Hardik Pandya can prove lethal with his hard-hitting abilities. Once he gets going he can be a great threat to the opposition.
