T20 World Cup – India Squad T20 WC: It is being reliably learnt that selectors are planning to have one final call with both Shastri & Kohli on Saturday.
Hardik Pandya’s fitness & inability to bowl is on top of agenda for the selectors. Selectors are concerned about Hardik’s situation. The Mumbai Indians player has once again struggled with his fitness during the IPL Phase 2. According to a member of the selection committee, Pandya’s inability to bowl in IPL can disturb the balance of Indian squad.
“One dimensional Hardik is a concern. He of course can win matches with bat but he was picked in the team for his all round abilities. Obviously, discussion on Hardik’s situation will be done with the team management”, said one of the top BCCI official

India Squad T20 WC: Sunil Gavaskar also raises concerns on Hardik Pandya’s one-dimensional abilities, Bhajji backs Chahal
Not only the selectors but Sunil Gavaskar has also raised concerns on Hardik Pandya’s fitness and not being able to bowl in IPL.
“Hardik Pandya not bowling is a big blow… because he was taken in the (T20 World Cup) team as an all-rounder. And if you are in the team, batting at No. 6 or No. 7, and you’re not able to bowl, then it makes it difficult for the captain. He doesn’t get the flexibility and option that is so required,” Gavaskar said during a television sports show.
On the other hand, Harbhajan Singh is batting for the inclusion of Chahal in the squad.
You have given ur best as always.. keep it up.. and make sure u keep bowling the right pace 😝.. Not too slow OK..still hoping to see you in team India for T20 World Cup.. Champion bowler 👍 https://t.co/ZOhxlNsmhv
