Even though the center group of players for the World Cup has however to be decided, previous India captain Sunil Gavaskar accepts Hardik Pandya can be an “easy pick” within the T20 event.
The T20 World Cup is less than seven months away, and the IPL will play a big role in determining who will represent Australia.
He can be an ‘automatic pick’ if he bowls well: Sunil Gavaskar is a cricketer from India.
“The entire cricketing community, not just the Gujarat Titans, will be watching to see if Hardik Pandya will bowl and how many overs he will bowl. Because if he starts bowling and bowls effectively, he’ll be an easy selection for the World T20, make no mistake,” Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports before the IPL match between the Gujarat Titans and the Lucknow SuperGiants on Monday.
Hardik Patel confirmed Sunil Gavaskar’s instincts to be true later in the day. The Gujarat Titans captain, whose bowling has been questioned in very recent months, completed his full quota of overs and, while failing to pick up a wicket, bowled at a constant pace of over 140 kmph.
