Questions Arise Regarding Pandya's Performance, Consistency And Commitment To Indian Cricket, Says Irfan Pathan
Pathan, the Player of the Match in 2007 T20 World Cup final, also took aim at Pandya’s performances, consistency and commitment to playing for the Indian team. “Previously, Hardik Pandya held the captaincy, but Rohit Sharma took over for T20 matches. Post T20 World Cup, there was a new plan; they aimed for a younger team with Pandya and Surya as potential captains.”
“Yet, questions arise regarding Pandya's performance consistency and commitment to Indian cricket. Regular participation in domestic cricket is essential for serving Indian cricket throughout the year. Injuries are inevitable, but proper planning involving consistent match play, including domestic cricket, is vital for a player's return. But then there's this one player who returns from injury without fulfilling the same requirements. That shouldn't happen because it sends the wrong message to the rest of the team,” he said in an episode of the ‘Star Sports Press Room’ show.
