Former India opener Virender Sehwag said that he will also keep Hardik Pandya in the T20 team as a batsman. Because he is a match-winning player on his own. Sehwag said in a special conversation with Cricbuzz, ‘Hardik Pandya alone can win the match. He is the first batsman and bowling is his bonus. Even if he doesn’t bowl, he will win you matches the day he goes. I will definitely keep such a player in my team.

Ajay Jadeja is also in favor of Hardik Pandya-

Former cricketer Ajay Jadeja also talked about giving Hardik Pandya a chance in the T20 World Cup as a batsman. Jadeja said that he sees Pandya only as a batsman. Jadeja said, ‘Even though Pandya has taken five wickets in the innings in Test, but I still do not consider him a bowler. I think Pandya should be sent to bat higher than No. 6-7. He puts the opposing team on the back foot as soon as they get to the crease.
