BCCI establishes strict Hardik Pandya T20 World Cup selection condition in Rohit Sharma meeting: Report

The batter Hardik has not performed as expected, scoring only 131 runs in 6 matches at an average of 26.20 in the current season. His performance with the ball has been inconsistent, and he has barely bowled in the last 4 matches.

Additionally, opponents have taken advantage of his bowling when given the chance. There are reports that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee has delivered a clear message to Hardik about the need for him to bowl regularly in order to secure a place in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad.

Despite bowling in different phases of the season, Hardik has not made a significant impact. In terms of specific bowling statistics, Hardik has struggled in various phases of the game, conceding runs and not performing up to the expected levels.

The selectors have also raised concerns about his role as an Impact player for the Chennai Super Kings and his limited use as a bowler. On the other hand, Dube, an all-rounder for the Chennai Super Kings, has not been utilized for his bowling skills in the current season.

However, he has impressed with his power-hitting, particularly against spinners. If selected for the T20 World Cup, he is likely to be utilized as a part-time bowler rather than a full all-rounder capable of completing 4 overs.
