Indian Cricket Team
The performance of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup has been excellent. India has won three out of four matches during the group stage. One match of Team India was cancelled due to wet outfield. The form of the team players was behind India’s excellent performance. Team India defeated Pakistan, Ireland and America during the group stage. Meanwhile, a World Cup winning player of India seems very happy with the form of two players of Team India. This player is none other than star spin bowler Harbhajan Singh. Harbhajan Singh believes that Hardik Pandya bowled better than expected during the World Cup and Pant’s contribution at number three is one of the biggest positives for the team.
Pandya disappointed in IPL
During the T20 World Cup, Harbhajan told Star Sports that the best thing for Team India is that Hardik Pandya is taking wickets. If we take a look at his wicket numbers, he has performed much better than expected. Hardik Pandya’s form was very bad during the IPL before the start of the T20 World Cup, but Pandya took seven wickets in the first three matches played in the World Cup and made a comeback in his style.
On the other hand, talking about Rishabh Pant, he was injured in a terrible car accident in December 2022. Since then he has been away from international cricket for a long time. He has directly returned to Team India’s squad in the World Cup and while batting at three, he scored runs at a strike rate of 124.67 on a bad pitch. Pant also performed very well as a wicketkeeper.
What did Harbhajan say about Pant?
Harbhajan said that apart from Pandya, Rishabh Pant has impressed by batting at number three. His role has changed completely. Before the World Cup, we were asking to include Sanju Samson in the team because he had scored a lot of runs. Pant batting at number three is a big positive. When he plays at number three, a combination of right and left-handed batsmen is formed. Now it will be interesting to see how Pant and Pandya perform during the Super 8 round in the West Indies.
