Can Hardik Pandya play as a batsman alone in ODIs if he cant bowl anymore?

[Ankit_sharma03]

We have been talking about reaching totals of 350 as thats where the world is heading in that case this shudnt be even a question.

Also , ODI's 

• Rohit in last 2-3 yrs has a s.r of 73 in initial 10 overs
• Jaddu at 7 has a s/r of 82 
• Iyer another slow starter 

 

Now do that math of how many balls are being wasted in 300 balls and our target was 350, this is why pandya is a must in this order coz we already are going behind our target

Logically it should be Iyer-Pandey as both are technically better batsman and can be trusted to resurrect the team from 60-4. But I would not pick a team thinking of such situations. What if team is batting first and 300-4 after 44th over...whom do we send - Pandey or Pandya? Think no.6 demands batsman who is a good striker and Pandya is the man. Having said that, Pandya played a brilliant counter attacking innings in CT Finals walking at 74/6. Without that run out who know what could have happened.

 

Techincally better is also a mis used word for both 

Hardik plays bounce better then iyer and spin better then manish, it just that he goes for an extreme risk game which will have its failure coz its a risk 

 

• 60-4 will happen once in a while which will also mean that one of iyer n manish is back in hut 90%,as far as i remeber pandya did it in CT 2017 n SA 1st test but no one was at other and in Ind-Aus during which someone was other end like 1st game where dhoni was there. 
• 300-4 will happen most days

Btw, what is the news, is he not gonna bowl even a bit? If one of our main bowler goes for 60 runs in 7 overs, is he fit enough to fill up the remaining quota?

[cowboysfan]

so he is never going to bowl again? if thats true then he is no use in ODIs and he just made sure he will never be picked for a test side.

[ShoonyaSifar]

In T20Is yes, in ODIs, not so sure yet. Pandya hasn't batted enough in FC cricket or List A cricket to show his utility as a specialist batsman at the int'l level. Has got just 1 100 in his entire career (a test 100) and has got no batting pedigree so far except for his brilliant batting stats in IPL in the last two seasons 

[Khota]

So we have  all come to the conclusion that he cannot bowl.

[coffee_rules]

He is only good for setting scores as a slogger. What if we are 50/4 chasing 200 in a T20 or 290-300 in a ODI? If he can’t bowl he is a one dimensional slogger, good for I1.

Nobody will win us from those situations.

pandey has done in Aus. After that, Kohli went back to Yuvraj

Pandey did it because he batted at 4 and there was never a collapse happened at first place. Nobody will do it at no. 6 except a fluke like Maxwell did it vs England.

 

Kohli is idiot, Pandey played that knock and got injured. Once he came back from injury, he was made to play as finisher at 5-6 and it didn't worked enough because our top 3 would bat for 30 overs and then Dhoni would show up on crease leaving Pandey to do final overs hitting which is not what he is good at.

He is still good enough to to score 80-90 even in that position IF he gets support from the other end. You can’t expect him to defend and attack at the same time. No one is going to do it Alone.

He will survive while attacking he can't anchor innings,not that it is a drawback, it is him rather who needs an anchor at the other end in situations like you have mentioned above

Had back surgery and advised not to bowl. Played as a batsman alone in IPL.

recovery, he ll take it slow which is right or else it cud be be a relapse like bhuvi .

Back injuries are not easy

He should not rush to bowl, he should take his time.Back injuries are  very hard on any player but it becomes much more harder for fast bowlers.

Jadeja sold him down the river, but doubt he would have got us any closer, we lost by 180 runs or so. He played T20 like innings 45 ball 75, out of 150 odd from India
