IPL 2022: Hardik Pandya to play Ranji Trophy 2022?
While Hardik Pandya has not been named in Baroda’s Ranji Trophy team, Aashish Kapoor hinted that he could play a “few matches” in mid-March.
“Asking him to play a few Ranji Trophy games before he turns up for a camp which may be in March with some point in March may be in Mid-March. So, he has been also starting to bowl that’s what he has told Nehra. He has started to bowl, he is bowling well and batting he has no problems in any case because mainly we want to know whether he can bowl for us like how in the Indian team. So, if he can bowl and bat both it is an added advantage because there are not too many all-rounders in India (medium pace all-rounders). He is the only one that you can think of at the moment so if you have that all-rounder with you then I think you are on the plus side,” Kapoor said.

Pandya did not bowl much in IPL 2021 for Mumbai and he even did not bowl much for India in ICC T20 World Cup 2021 due to injury. Pandya’s contribution to his franchise as both batter and bowler will give his team management more options and certainly will add variety to the bowling attack.
