Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self

Hardik Pandya turn out most useful for the Indian Team eventually but yesterday were failed. I believe he could manage but indeed it was a big total. He is very aggressive and this temperament should continue when team is needy. Pandya continues to be an asset for India and his return in the bowling department can be proved crucial.

Hardik Pandya is most useful for short bursts towards the end. I don't think that he has yet achieved the maturity to play long innings. He played well yesterday. But when someone scores big and his team losses the match, people tend to forget about the performance very soon. It may not be a bad idea to promote him a little bit higher up the order.

He's next Kapil Dev Grin

I don't have much grievance from the last game as far as batting is concern. Everyone tried their best but target was too big and you can't chase mammoth targets everytime so its okay.

My concern is 6th bowler. If India can't produce genuine all rounder then they should focus more on part time bowlers and top 5-6 batsmen should step up but sadly no one seems interested to take a ball or even try. 6th bowler + part timer bowlers are need of modern cricket, unfortunately Team India not taking this seriously.

Before India had Sachin, Sehwag, Gangully, Yuvraj, Raina who used to ball as part timer every now n then but sadly this tradition is dead in current Indian batsmen.

India failed to produce a genuine fast bowling all rounder, by the way Pandya itself a pacer but not bowling due to the injury concern and team India has to go with the options they are having.Maybe they need to change the bowling combination in the mext matches to find the right partners who is capable of taking wickets.

India only have a medium pace baller for long time and Bhuvi is good with swing but due to injury/form is not in the team. Bumrah is being one of the strike bowlers in recent times with his consistent york deliveries. Hardik is good allrounder for team, but 1 thing as far as long term playing consistently is if he admire the success he has got in short time and gets carried away then it will not take much time which will impact his performance on ground. Till time he is performing no one points at him, but soon he loses his form then media goes back to his personal life’s and will relate his poor performances accordingly which will hurt him more.
