Why Hardik Pandya is Not Bowling in the ODIs Reveals Virat Kohli

 

Here is why Hardik Pandya is not bowling in the ODIs

India recently won the T20I series against England by a margin of 3-2. A great positive from that victory was the contribution of Hardik Pandya with the ball. It was great to see him turning up with the change-ups that showed the other bowlers a path to deliver even with a wet ball. He returned with good figures more often than not which helped India claim the series. But why Hardik Pandya is not bowling in the ODIs this question is there in everyone’s mind.

Hardik Pandya is not bowling in the ODIs Reveals Virat

However, since the ODIs have arrived, he is absent from the bowling crease. India won the first ODI without his bowling. But the English batsmen absolutely hammered every Indian bowler and made a mockery of the target of 337. Not seeing Hardik Pandya bowling in such a situation came in as a surprise. Even the commentators were a bit perplexed by Virat Kohli not turning towards Hardik when literally no other bowler had an answer to the big-hitting.

Hardik’s slower balls could have been effective in such a scenario. However, England chased down the score with 39 balls to spare. When the Indian captain appeared for the post-match interview, he faced the mandatory question about Hardik not getting the ball. Kohli replied that it is a conscious effort to manage his workload. Hardik has had issues with his back and has remained out of action due to injuries on multiple occasions. Kohli added that the final of the World Test Championship is also in line for which the team management intends to keep the all-rounder fit.

IPL 2021: CSK full squad details

Image
  Chennai Super Kings had a lot to do in the auction for IPL 2021 . They had a forgettable tournament last year. For the first time in the history of Indian Premier League, MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings ended the tournament at the 7th position. In the IPL auction, therefore, they had to buy some key players for a strong comeback. It was interesting to see Chennai Super Kings going for Cheteshwar Pujara. Not a lot would have thought of Pujara making it to an IPL side. While they went for some base price buys, they stacked up two players for a total of 16.25 crore. The challenge for Chennai Super Kings was to get some effective and young players on board to strengthen the core balance. K Gowtham and Moeen Ali can serve them as the all-rounders. However, they were in need of a back-up opener. Chennai Super Kings Retained Players: MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, KM Asif, Deepak Chahar, Dwayne Bravo, Faf du Plessis, Imran Tahir, N Jagadeesan, Karn Sharma, Lungi Ngidi, M...

Amit Mishra shares his thoughts on spin bowling

Image
  India has produced a good number of quality spinners throughout the year but there are very few wrist spinners available and Amit Mishra is one of them. He feels that wrist spin is a difficult craft that can only be mastered with hours of honing the skill sets and also a leader who backs the player in difficult moments of the game. “Any leg-spinner needs a good captain because when the bowler is under attack, you need that sort of a skipper, who would back you to the hilt and give you that requisite confidence even when you have gone for a few runs,” Mishra told PTI in an exclusive interview. “A captain who basically understands the psyche of a leg-spinner.” Amit Mishra, who will be seen in action for Delhi Capitals this IPL season in India, has played 68 games across formats for India and one of the successful bowlers in IPL too. Meanwhile, in India barring Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav and Rahul Chahar, there aren’t many quality leg-break bowlers available too as well. ...

  Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli is excited to have Glenn Maxwell in his squad in the 2021 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they have started their hunt for the much-awaited IPL title against Chennai Super Kings on April 9. RCB gave a whopping Rs 14.25 crore for Maxwell, who was released by Punjab Kings earlier the mini-auction in Chennai in February this year. The Australian big-hitting all-rounder has a very poor record in the IPL but he was still in demand at the mini-auction in February. However, even before the auction, Maxwell had shared his desire to play for RCB under Kohli as well, and he was also keen on having Maxwell in his squad. "We wanted Maxi, specifically targeted him at the auction in February. You obviously feel great when things end up happening to where you thought they would. Zamps sent me that picture of them (Zampa and Maxwell) at a practice session handing over the RCB cap even before the auction happened. Zamps a very fun...
