Rohit Sharma, who is India’s stand-in skipper for the warm-up match against Australia has given a big update on Hardik Pandya’s bowling. The 34-years has said that all-rounder will start bowling before the start of main matches in the T20 World Cup.
“Kohli, Bumrah and Shami are resting today. We wanted to bat first as well, just wanted to try and get runs on the board. We want to make sure that we get the 6th bowling option, some options in the batting order as well, we’ll try all those things today,” said Rohit Sharma.
“Hardik is coming along pretty well, but it’ll be a while before he will start to bowl. He hasn’t started bowling, but he should be ready by the start of the tournament. We have quality in the main bowlers, but you need an option for a 6th bowler,” he added.
Rohit said that Kohli is not the part of this game but the star player was seen bowling the seventh over of the match.
India won their first warm-up game agaianst England by 7 wickets and this is the second one where the spinners have already taken the charge with regular wickets.
