Fans and critics have been questioning the selection of Pandya, if he can\u2019t bowl, cannot finish the match then why play him in the squad? Also, while batting against Pakistan, Pandya hurt his shoulder, which raised questions about his fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hardik\u2019s inability to bowl has disturbed the balance of the Indian side. Last time the all-rounder bowled was during the Sri Lanka tour in July. He didn\u2019t bowl a single over during the USE leg of IPL 2021 for his Indian Premier League franchise Mumbai Indians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read Also<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/sourav-ganguly-atk-mohun-bagan-resign\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/sourav-ganguly-atk-mohun-bagan-resign\/\">BCCI President Sourav Ganguly steps down as ATK Mohun Bagan director<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, in a photo posted by BCCI social media handles, Hardik can be seen bowling in the nets.
