A new plan is forming behind the scenes, with one Indian star now key to India’s 2027 World Cup plans.
The goal is clear. Keep him fit and ready. India wants its top all-rounder in peak shape for the next ODI World Cup.
Hardik Pandya is at the centre of this plan. Reports say the BCCI is carefully managing his workload as preparations for the 2027 ODI WC speed up.
Few players can finish games with the bat and bowl key overs like him. His all-round skills bring extra balance to India’s ODI team.
The main aim is for Hardik to bowl his full quota regularly again. A fully fit Hardik could solve many team selection problems at once.
Fitness is still the main challenge. Past injuries have disrupted his form, so managing his workload is crucial this year.
If this plan works, India could have its top match-winner ready for the 2027 World Cup. Can Hardik be the key to India’s biggest goal yet?
