Bowling coach Paras Mhambrey is not worried about Hardik Pandya’s poor form, said- he has faith in his ability…
However, in the T20 World Cup, Hardik Pandya has taken 5 wickets at an average of 10.20 and an economy rate of 6.37. Meanwhile, speaking in the press conference before the match against USA, Mhambrey said that Hardik has a lot of confidence in his ability and the problem with him in the IPL was that he was not in good form. Paras Mahambre said, “I think one thing I am definitely sure about is that he has faith in his ability. Sometimes in the tournament you don’t have the momentum. Sometimes, even if you try, the rhythm doesn’t come. It takes time. I think that was a phase where he didn’t have the momentum. As a bowler, you do everything, you bowl, you bowl continuously, you play so I think sometimes he couldn’t maintain his momentum. That was one of the reasons where he couldn’t maintain his rhythm.” Let us tell you that bowling coach Paras Mhambrey also gave his opinion about the victory of the Indian cricket team against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. He said, I thought that this match would be a very stressful match. Obviously, it will be more stressful because the match is against Pakistan. You can say anything, but it will never be a normal game.
