Hardik Pandya was in conversation with India star Ravi Shastri as the in-form all-rounder opened up on his performance and how bowling the right ball instead of aiming for wickets has been the right call for him to regain his confidence. He also touched upon his performance with the bat.
“Jasprit and I went on talking about the fact I don't really try to take wickets. I just try to bowl good balls and see what is required for the team. There's nothing called your own performance in this sport. It's all about what's required, bowling the right ball and right situation. In that process, if I get a wicket, it's good.
“The same goes for batting, depending on the situation and how many wickets we have lost. My last hit against AFG helped me with my confidence. Today, I knew there was something for the batter to score runs. I played smart cricket and wanted to capitalize,” said Hardik in a video posted by ICC on the social media platform Instagram.

Hardik Pandya has been one of India's most in-form batters as he has been productive for the Indian Cricket Team as they move ahead on their T20 World Cup campaign. After Team India suffers a top-order collapse, he effectively brings the balance with both bat and the ball.
But the Rohit Sharma-led side's upcoming target will be mighty as they will be up against Australia. The cricket team from down under are coming off a loss to Afghanistan, and they will aim to wreak havoc.
