The vice captain’s card should not be cut
There is doubt regarding the selection of Indian T20 vice captain Hardik Pandya. He could not do anything special in bowling and batting in Indian Premier League. The selectors are especially keeping an eye on his bowling. According to a report in the Indian Express, the condition of giving him a place in the T20 World Cup team was kept only on the condition of performing well in bowling. Captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid also agree on making Hardik’s selection a criterion.
Hardik’s T20 International performances lackluster
After playing 92 T20 Internationals for India, he does not even have 1 wicket per match. He has managed to take only 73 wickets so far. Talking about batting, he could not even score 30 runs per match. His average is 25.43 means he has managed to score only 25 runs in the matches played so far.

Even after playing 9 matches, he does not have many half-centuries in his account. Scored only 197 runs at an average of 24. Talking about bowling, the quota of overs for 9 matches is 36. Hardik bowled only 19 overs in which he managed to take only 4 wickets. Has given 227 runs with an economy of over 11.
