Will Hardik Pandya be able to bowl in T20 World Cup? The answer remains mystery!

Mumbai
Indians
on
Friday
(October
8)
finished
the
IPL
2021
at
fifth
position.
The
side
ended
their
IPL
2021
campaign
with
a
42-run
win
over
Sunrisers
Hyderabad
(SRH)
but
failed
to
qualify
for
the
playoffs.

In
the
second
phase
of
the
tournament,
Hardik
did
not
bowl
a
single
ball
and
he
struggled
even
with
the
bat
in
hand.

“Yeah,
look
in
terms
of
his
bowling,
he
has
not
bowled
yet.
The
physios,
trainers
and
medical
team
are
working
on
his
bowling.
As
of
now,
all
I
know
is
he
has
not
bowled
a
single
ball
yet
but
we
wanted
to
take
it
one
game
at
a
game
and
see
where
it
stands.

”He
did
not
bowl
against
SRH
as
well
but
you
know,
he
is
getting
better
day
by
day.
He
might
be
able
to
bowl
by
the
next
week,
who
knows?
The
doctors
and
physios
will
be
able
to
give
an
update
on
that,”
Rohit
said
during
a
virtual
post-match
press
conference.

”As
far
his
batting
is
concerned,
yes,
he
will
be
disappointed
but
we
know
the
quality
of
him.
He
is
a
quality
player,
there
is
no
doubt
about
that.
Personally,
he
would
not
be
happy
with
his
batting,
but
the
team
and
I
have
faith
in
his
abilities.
He
is
getting
every
time
he
goes
out
to
the
field.

”Players
like
him
are
just
one
innings
away
from
coming
back
to
their
natural
way.
If
I
have
to
put
everything
together,
I
am
confident
about
his
ability
and
I
am
sure
he
will
be
a
huge
asset,”
he
added.

Mumbai
Indians
had
scored
235
in
20
overs
against
SRH
on
the
back
of
blistering
performances
from
Ishan
Kishan
and
Suryakumar
Yadav.

“We
just
did
not
play
as
a
team
and
collectively
as
a
group,
we
did
not
come
together
and
that
was
the
main
reason
behind
us
not
qualifying
for
the
playoffs.
When
you
want
to
win
games
and
tournaments,
you
need
to
put
in
a
collective
performance.

”We
do
not
tend
to
rely
on
one
or
two
individuals
at
any
given
stage,
we
always
believe
in
everyone
chipping
in.
That
did
not
happen
this
year
and
it
was
disappointing,”
said
Rohit.

“It
is
a
different
squad
here
and
it
will
be
a
different
squad
at
the
T20
World
Cup.
What
we
do
here
is
different
from
what
we
do
there.
There
is
a
lot
of
mixed
understanding
of
the
two
teams,
all
the
six
or
seven
guys
we
have
over
here,
would
have
liked
to
had
a
good
run
but
it
did
not
happen.

”You
saw
a
couple
of
fine
performances
against
SRH
from
Suryakumar
and
Ishan.
When
you
talk
about
the
T20
World
Cup,
there
will
be
a
couple
of
practice
games,
guys
can
get
back
into
their
rhythm
and
see
what
we
can
do
over
there,”
he
added.
