NEW DELHI: Indian cricket coach Rahul Dravid on Saturday expressed that India may have to adopt a different balance for their upcoming World Cup match against New Zealand due to the absence of the injured all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Dravid sees this as an opportunity to experiment with various combinations.
Hardik, who has been a crucial all-rounder for India and has taken five wickets in the tournament, is set to miss the match against New Zealand in Dharamshala after injuring his ankle during India's seven-wicket win over Bangladesh.
Dravid stated, "He is an important all-rounder, so he helps us balance our squad out really well. But he is going to be missing this game, so we will have to work around that and see what is the best combination."
