India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey on Wednesday put all the concerns around Hardik Pandya's fitness to rest as he clarified that the all-rounder will not be rested for India's T20 World Cup game vs the Netherlands.
Hardik suffered cramps towards the end of India's batting innings in the opening game vs Pakistan and there were concerns that he may be injured.
However, Mhambrey said that team India has momentum going in the tournament and need individuals to be in the form as well. "Hardik is an important player for us, he is bowling as well as batting. Other than that, his attitude on the ground like in the last match, he played a crucial knock," added the bowling coach.
Mhambrey also lavished praise on Arshdeep Singh and stated that his ability to handle pressure is phenomenal.
