“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.

SL vs IND Playing XI 1st T20: Who will Suryakumar Yadav give a chance and who will he leave out? Know here

Team India will play T20 series under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav on Sri Lanka tour. SL vs IND Match Prediction (Source The first T20 match of the three-match series between Sri Lanka and India will be played tomorrow (27 July) in Pallikal. The Indian team’s preparations for this match against Sri Lanka are complete. Team India is going to make a new beginning under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav. In such a situation, everyone has the same question in their mind that what kind of playing eleven will Surya take the field with in the first T20 match of his captaincy. There are many new players in the team. In such a situation, it will not be easy for Suryakumar Yadav to select all the combinations in the first T20 match. Let us understand what will be the possible playing eleven of the Indian team for the first T20 match. Let us know which 11 players will get a place in this match and who will sit out. SL vs IND Playing XI 1st T20: Team India’s playing XI for the first T20 match could be something like this Suryakumar will not have much difficulty in selecting the batsmen in the first T20 match against Sri Lanka. Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal will definitely open the innings. Apart from this, Rishabh Pant can bat at number three. Captain Suryakumar Yadav himself will take the responsibility of batting at number four. However, Surya may face difficulty in selecting Riyan Parag and Rinku Singh. Rinku Singh is continuously making a splash in T20 cricket. On the other hand, Riyan Parag was able to capitalize on the opportunity he got on the Zimbabwe tour. One favor with Riyan is that he also bowls. On the other hand, both Riyan and Rinku are equal in fielding. On the other hand, if we talk about the middle order, then all-rounder Hardik Pandya is sure to play. On the other hand, Shivam Dubey will definitely be considered. Due to the absence of Ravindra Jadeja, Patel will often be seen as a spin all-rounder. Apart from this, either Washington Sundar or Ravi Bishnoi can be given a chance as a spinner. Talking about fast bowling, out of Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Siraj and Khalil Ahmed, Arshdeep and Siraj are almost certain to play while Khalil may have to wait for his turn. Team India also has the option of two more fast bowlers along with Hardik and Shivam Dubey. India’s probable playing XI for the first T20 match: Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh/Riyan Parag, Shivam Dubey, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar/Ravi Bishnoi, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj

After failing in IPL, Hardik no longer gets respect in Team India, former Sri Lankan cricketer gave a shocking statement

After Gautam Gambhir became the new coach, Hardik had to lose the captaincy of the Indian team in the T20 format. Hardik Pandya (Photo Source: BCCI) About a month ago, when the Indian cricket team won the title of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, Hardik Pandya was the vice-captain of that team India. However, after the departure of Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir becoming the new head coach of Team India, Hardik has lost the captaincy of the T20 format. The Indian cricket team management has shown faith in experienced Suryakumar Yadav instead of Hardik Pandya, which is considered to be the beginning of a new era for Surya and Gambhir. Along with this, the responsibility of vice-captaincy has been handed over to young Shubman Gill. So, when Mumbai Indians made Hardik Pandya the captain in place of Rohit Sharma in a dramatic manner before the start of IPL 2024, it was not liked not only by cricket experts but also by MI fans. Whenever Hardik came to the field to toss or bat, he had to face boos. So Mumbai Indians could not do anything special under the captaincy of Hardik Pandya and finished the tournament at number 10. On the other hand, now Hardik Pandya will be seen playing on India’s tour of Sri Lanka from July 27. But before the start of this tour of Team India, a big statement of former Sri Lankan cricketer Russell Arnold has come to the fore. Russell Arnold made a big statement Let us tell you that before India’s tour against Sri Lanka started, Russell Arnold, as quoted by Sports Tak, said – Both (Surya and Hardik) are exceptional players. They bring different things to the team. Suryakumar Yadav is one of the best T20 batsmen. The way he plays, it seems that no one reads the game better than him. Arnold further said- Hardik has also shown these things. But I think that after the way his IPL 2024 went, he has not been able to get the kind of respect in Team India, which BCCI must have thought about him at one time.

In such a situation, it is not clear whether the captain of Rajasthan Royals will be included in Team India’s playing eleven or not. It is very unfortunate that Samson made his T20 debut for India in 2015 at the age of only 20. In the last 9 years, he has been able to play only 28 matches for Team India. Now it remains to be seen how many opportunities Sanju Samson gets on this tour of Sri Lanka. The first T20 match of the series between India and Sri Lanka will be played on 27 July.
