Speaking to Boria Majumdar on ‘Backstage with Boria’, Hardik Pandya said that he was selected in India’s World Cup squad as a pure batsman and he worked hard and did bowling in a match where he wasn’t supposed to.

“The position we were in at the World Cup, I felt everything was thrown at me. I was selected in the squad as a batter. I worked hard to bowl in the 1st game, but I couldn’t. I did bowl in the 2nd one even when I wasn’t supposed to,” said Hardik on Backstage with Boria.

The Baroda all-rounder added that he is focused on making a comeback as a pure all-rounder.

“I want to play as an all-rounder. If something goes bad, then I don’t know but my preparations are all about playing as an all-rounder. I am feeling good, feeling strong and eventually, the time will say what happens,” he added.
