Sunil Gavaskar suggests Rahul Dravid to use 'Hardik Pandya as backup…' in India's ideal blueprint for T20 World Cup
One of the major selection headaches around the playing XI India will pick in the T20 World Cup pertains to the bowling combination. Ahead of the warm-up game against Bangladesh at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar sent head coach Rahul Dravid the perfect bowling plan for the ICC tournament. Sunil Gavaskar sends Rahul Dravid the perfect India bowling plan for T20 World Cup Speaking to Dainik Jagran, Gavaskar reckoned that India should pick three spinners, although he did not specify if it meant selecting all-rounder Axar Patel or leggie Yuzvendra Chahal, given that Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav are a certainty. "A balanced bowling attack is the most important in West Indies, so India can go with three spinners and two fast bowlers, with Hardik Pandya as the backup fast bowler. Hardik and Dube, the only two fast-bowling all-rounders in the squad, spent a considerable amount of time bowling in the two intense net sessions India had ahead of the warm-up match on June 1.
