“He should play whatever T20 cricket there is”- Ravi Shastri gives important advice to Hardik Pandya to improve his fitness
Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri has advised Hardik Pandya to improve his fitness. He has asked Pandya to focus especially on bowling fitness. 30-year-old Hardik has had to struggle with injuries many times in his 8-year career. Last year, Hardik had to be out of the ODI World Cup midway due to an ankle injury. At the same time, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar also cited Hardik’s fitness as the reason behind removing him from the T20 captaincy. In a conversation with ICC, Ravi Shastri has advised Hardik Pandya that he should play as many T20s as possible to make a comeback in the ODI team. Shastri said, “In my opinion, it is very important that he continues to play. I believe that match fitness is important. So he should play as much T20 cricket as possible. And if he is fit and feeling better, then he should also come in the ODI team.” Meanwhile, Shastri also stressed on Pandya bowling his full quota of overs in ODI cricket. He said, “If you have a player who is bowling only 3-4 overs instead of 10 overs in ODIs, it disturbs the balance of the team. If you bowl 7-8 overs in most of the matches and the way Pandya bats, it becomes a bonus for the team.” Hardik was sidelined from Test cricket in 2018 due to a back injury. He recovered without surgery and was included in the 2019 ODI World Cup squad, but the injury resurfaced later that year and he had to undergo surgery that year. He later returned to the field in 2021, but was included in the T20 World Cup squad only as a batsman, which cost the Indian team dearly. More recently, Hardik suffered an ankle injury during India’s fourth game in the ODI World Cup last year, which kept him away from cricket for a long time. He then returned as captain in IPL 2024 but his performance this season was very poor. He made a brilliant comeback in the T20 World Cup last month with a brilliant all-round performance, including the final match, where he dismissed the dangerous Heinrich Klaasen and then David Miller in the death overs to guide the team to victory.

Not only this, there was also talk of his inclusion in India’s T20 World Cup squad. However, he got injured during the tournament and then things changed. He could not even recover in time and was out of the tournament. However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India is keeping an eye on Mayank Yadav. Given his ability to bowl at a speed of 150 kmph, BCCI officials are taking full care of him. They do not want to rush to bring the bowler into action. Currently, Mayank Yadav is in the NCA and is under the supervision of doctors. According to reports, the 22-year-old player has started bowling in the nets and he is feeling much better and fit. Mayank has also talked about his fitness. I am feeling quite fit- Mayank Yadav Mayank Yadav told The Telegraph, “My recovery program went very well and now I am feeling much better. I also feel quite fit. I have to spend some more time here, but the good thing is that I have been bowling with full run-up and intensity for the last few days. I am happy with my progress so far.” Let us tell you that Mayank can travel with the team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, yet the BCCI does not want to take any risk. A BCCI official said, a young fast bowler like Mayank should first be given the necessary time to deal with the needs of different formats. Therefore, strict care is being taken right now. If he is included in the Indian team, it is a risk, as it can harm the team.

But despite playing in the shorter formats, these guys do not have enough fitness. Rashid Latif also raised questions about the team combination Rashid Latif has also raised questions about the team combination. He says that the team has the option of four bowlers to bowl in the initial overs. In such a situation, who will bowl in the middle overs is a big problem.

Earlier when these two bowlers played for Pakistan and in PSL, they used to bowl the opening overs between 1-4. Now, Rauf and Shaheen play the same role, if you have four bowlers playing the same role, then who will bowl in the middle overs?
