Plans for the 6th bowler already ready: Meanwhile, on being asked about the plans for the sixth bowling option for India against Pakistan as well as in a tournament, India skipper said that they have already made a plan for it.
“Well, I honestly feel that Hardik Pandya presently with his physical condition is getting better in terms of being prepared to bowl at least two overs for us at a certain stage in this tournament and we strongly believe we can make the most of the opportunity we have at our hand till the time he starts bowling. We have considered a couple of other options to chip in with overs so we are not bothered about that all,” Virat Kohli said at the pre-match press conference on Saturday.
