Hardik Pandya, one of the best all-rounders of Team India, recently took part in the T20 series against Sri Lanka, after which he was shown the way out of the ODI series citing his fitness. It is being said about Hardik Pandya that he is not fully fit and that is why he is not being considered in the ODI series. Along with this, news is also coming that the BCCI management is also considering these two as replacements for Hardik Pandya and soon some other player may be given his responsibility.

Hardik Pandya is getting injured continuously

Hardik Pandya is the most important part of the Indian cricket team in white ball. But in the last few years, he has failed to prove his usefulness as a bowler due to his poor fitness.

This is why from time to time the demand is raised that the Indian team should have a player as his replacement. Who can balance the Indian team in his absence, this is why the BCCI management tries to give priority to fast bowling all-rounders.

This player can replace Hardik Pandya

If we talk about Hardik Pandya's replacement, the first name that comes to mind is Madhya Pradesh all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer. Venkatesh Iyer's white ball career has been very good, which is why he has got an offer to play county. Venkatesh Iyer is currently associated with county club Lancashire and is part of the team in the ODI Cup being played there.

While playing for Lancashire, Venkatesh Iyer has failed a bit as a batsman but he has left his mark as a bowler. In the match played yesterday, when the team needed two wickets, he took two wickets on two consecutive balls and put the match in the team's bag.

3️⃣ runs required to win.

2️⃣ Wickets needed…

Over to you, @venkateshiyer!
