Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya said that he wants to be able to bowl eventually, closer to T20 World Cup knockouts, while adding that he won’t be bowling for now. Pandya’s comments came ahead of the India-Pakistan clash, which is being played at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday evening.

Notably, Pandya bowled a bit during India’s tour of Sri Lanka but he represented Mumbai Indians as a specialist batsman in the entire UAE leg of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021).

“The back is fine, it was jittery, but I won’t be bowling for now. I want to be able to bowl eventually, closer to the knockouts. The professionals and I both have to take the call about when I can have a bowl,” Hardik Pandya told the broadcasters.

Pandya also opened up on the much-anticipated clash between the two arch-rivals, saying that as a player he likes to keep things professional.

“I don’t like to get too hyped by the situation, and my family make sure of that too. I stay away from social media because you do get excited and get the vibes.

“It’s simple, and we leave emotions out of the way, and keep things professional. We make sure we tick the right boxes, and do the processes right,” Pandya added.

India start their T20 World Cup campaign against Babar Azam’s Pakistan on Sunday. Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and decided to bowl first in the ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2021 match against India in Dubai on Sunday. Varun Chakravarthy makes his World Cup debut in the all-important match. India left out Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Rahul Chahar and Ishan Kishan.
