Sydney, Oct 25 (PTI) KL Rahul’s lack of footwork against quality pace attack was monitored by the eagle-eyed Indian coaching staff during the team’s net session on Monday while exhausted Hardik Pandya was given a recovery break ahead of the T20 World Cup match against the Netherlands.
Since the next match is against the Netherlands on Thursday, India can afford to rest Pandya, if need be, and may try out Deepak Hooda, who can bat at any position and also bowl fast off-breaks inside the powerplay overs.
But, there are no conclusive indications that Pandya may miss a World Cup match even if it’s against a weaker side like the Netherlands.
