IND vs PAK: Is Hardik Pandya Playing Today? Here’s the update
Ahead of this year’s all-important ICC T20 World Cup, the Indian team management have a big task to manage the workload of their players and also keep them match-ready for the mega event. This was the major reason as to why the Men in Blue rested their premier all-rounder Hardik Pandya during the last match against Hong Kong. Hardik played a vital role in India’s amazing victory over Pakistan as he picked up three crucial wickets and also smacked an unbeaten knock of 33 runs off only 17 balls. Therefore, it is very much certain that the right-hander straightaway walks back into the playing 11 for the match against Pakistan on Sunday.
It is also very much likely that Hardik Pandya will replace Rishabh Pant in the Indian side. This means that Dinesh Karthik will be taking care of the wicket-keeping duties.
