However, Aakash Chopra believes it will be difficult for Team India to complete. The fifth bowlers’ duties between Ravindra Jadeja and Virat Kohli.
Therefore, With Hardik Pandya is unlikely to roll his arm over. India will likely enter the T20 World Cup with only five frontline bowling options. If any of the regular bowlers are unable to bowl their complete quota of overs. It players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Suryakumar Yadav may be called into action.
“When you are playing with five bowlers, Jaddu bowls in the middle overs – after the 6th and before the 14th – now if he is also going to bowl in that and you want to get an over from Kohli as well, I feel you will get stuck.” He explained
“Team India’s balance is slightly awry, let’s be honest. If Hardik is not bowling, the Indian team is pegged back a little. Jadeja, the 4-over bowler in T20 cricket, is still a bit of a question mark.” Aakash Chopra reasoned
By batting Jadeja at no. 6 and playing Shardul Thakur as a seam-bowling all-rounder at no. 7, Team India may boost their bowling. However, they are unlikely to choose that option because it would significantly weaken their batting lineup.
Varun Chakravarthy
“If someone hasn’t played international cricket and you get him to play an India-Pakistan match straightaway, he becomes nervous. I am slightly concerned about Varun Chakravarthy.” Aakash Chopra said
On October 15, Chakravarthy represented the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2021 final against the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Apart from keeping the mystery spinner out of the path of prying eyes, the team’s management may have wanted the injury-prone bowler to have enough rest.
