Hardik Pandya has dropped by the selectors ahead of the New Zealand series

India is all set to face New Zealand in the 3-match T20I series starting from November 17th. In addition to that, the series is going to be played in India which include the Test series as well.

Besides, a plethora of cricketers claims that Hardik Pandya has been a huge disappointment for Team India for his poor form with the bat and the ball. They are heading into this home series after having a poor T20 World Cup, as they failed to qualify for the playoffs after a long time.

Team India didn't live up to the expectations of the fans and become a huge disappointment for the fans. Moreover, during the mega-event, Pakistan defeats India for the first time in an ICC event in the history of cricket.

Still, fans believed Team India and expected a strong comeback against New Zealand in the next match. However, Virat Kohli and his men once again disappointed the fans by losing their next match against the Kiwis. 

Hardik Pandya is yet to recover from his lower back injury:

Considering the recent reports from the other sources, Hardik Pandya is not fully fit for the upcoming series against New Zealand which is going to conclude in a few days.

Here is the reason behind dropping Hardik Pandya ahead of the series, "Hardik Pandya has not yet recovered from his lower back injury. However, the former T20 captain (Kohli in this case) was bent on having him at No 6 as a specialist batter, Chetan Sharma (chief national selector) and his team had to relent."

Most of the fans know that Hardik Pandya is one of the finest all-rounders of the modern era and can finish the games single-handedly for his team. However, Hardik Pandya is struggling to find his form due to fitness issues and also didn't bowl many in recent times.

He was a massive disappointment for the fans in the T20 World Cup. Apart from his bowling, he also failed to contribute with the bat as well. So, the Indian selectors went on to select Venkatesh Iyer over Hardik Pandya and decided to groom the youngster for the upcoming days.
