All-rounder Hardik Pandya claimed Sunday that “my body is great” after bending his back without pain, which was just what the Indian team needed in the year of the T20 World Cup.
In the year leading up to the T20 World Cup, India’s top all-rounder Hardik Pandya claimed, “My body is great,” after bending his back without pain on Sunday. As a result of Hardik’s career-best 4/24 and a career-best 71-run innings to help India overcome England in the series-deciding third ODI, he had been plagued by persistent back problems. He was able to take three wickets with the short ball.
“I had to bend my back a bit, modify my ideas, realize that this was not the wicket to go full — and go for the short-ball, utilize it as a wicket-taking delivery,” Hardik remarked after his impressive effort with the ball.
That included Liam Livingstone, who was caught at a deep backward square leg after failing to handle a bouncer from the right-handed opener.
It’s always nice to have a good bouncer,” he says. I get shivers every time Livingstone takes the short ball on. His two sixes were impressive, but a single wicket made a huge difference.
My body is great, so I can bowl as much as I want, and the captain does an excellent job of keeping an eye on my workload.” He has handled me well,” said the star all-rounder, who has his sights set on the forthcoming T20 spectacular in Australia. “The skipper is fantastic on when I should bowl and when I shouldn’t.”
The chase is about intent and the wicket is quite nice to bat on,” he observed of India’s victory over England with more than four overs to spare. We’ll take a chance on finding it. Avoiding focusing on the target is critical. However, it was the flamboyant Gujarati all-rounder who dominated the first half of the match and sent a warning to the opponents ahead of next year’s T20 World Cup, who top-scored for England with an 80-ball 60.
In India’s chase, Rishabh Pant hit an unbeaten 125 to help India win by five wickets and 47 balls.
