Captain Kohli gave a big update on Hardik Pandya’s fitness before the match against New Zealand

T20 WC 2021, IND vs NZ: Before the match against India and New Zealand, a big update has come out regarding the fitness of Team India’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya. In the press conference before the match, captain Virat Kohli said that Hardik Pandya is completely fit. Since the match against Pakistan, there was a continuous round of discussions about Pandya’s fitness, which Kohli has put an end to.

Kohli said this about Pandya
Virat Kohli called Pandya fit and defended Pandya’s bowling. Kohli said, “Hardik Pandya is completely fit. Either me and Hardik Pandya can become the sixth bowler of the team, but there is no guarantee of victory with 6 bowlers.” Apart from this, Kohli also said a big thing about Shardul Thakur. He said, “Shardul Thakur is a part of the planning of Team India and is a very important player.” However, the captain did not say anything explicitly about his inclusion in the playing XI.

Kohli confident, the team will return in the next match
Virat Kohli believes that the players of the team perform better in difficult conditions and will give victory to the team by coming back well against New Zealand. Kohli said, “The cricketers of the team know how to make a comeback. Even before this, the Indian team has performed well in such conditions.”

This match is very important for India
This match is very important for the Indian team. Team India has not been able to win in the ICC tournament against New Zealand after the year 2003. In such a situation, it will be a tough challenge for the team to beat New Zealand. India has also lost twice to New Zealand in the T20 World Cup. Apart from this, India had lost to Pakistan in the first match. After this, the road to the semi-finals is getting difficult for India. In such a situation, it is necessary for the team to win this match. On the other hand, New Zealand’s team has also lost its first match in the T20 World Cup, in such a condition it is very important for them to win as well. Both the teams would like to win this match and keep the semi-final hopes alive. This match is expected to be very exciting.
