T20 WC: Bumrah, Hardik To Be India's Twin Trump Cards For Super Eights, Says Paranjape
BCCI Cricket Advisory Committee: Former India cricketer and national selector Jatin Paranjape feels fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and seam-bowling all-rounder Hardik Pandya will be the twin trump cards for the defending champions ahead of their Super Eights campaign in the Men’s T20 World Cup starting against South Africa in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
In three league games, Bumrah has picked four wickets at an economy rate of six and a strike rate of 13.5. Hardik, meanwhile, has amassed 87 runs with a batting strike-rate of 155 and grabbed five wickets at an economy rate of 7.9. Hardik also produced a great all-round performance – hitting 52 and taking 2-28 – when India beat Namibia in New Delhi earlier this month.
“The guy who takes this Indian team to a different level altogether is Hardik Pandya. Without him, this Indian team is half as good as it is with him in it. Hardik’s improvement over the last 12 months has shown that he is just so focused on his game. He is not letting the outside chatter get to him at all.
