London: Australia's great bowler Glenn Matgrath said the current ICC World Cup could play the same role for Hardik Pandya or India as Yuvraj Singh played in the 2011 session. Yuvraj, who contributed with both ball and bat in 2011, was instrumental in making India world champions for the second time and was the man of the series in the tournament.

Pandya can play pivotal role

According to the information, when asked if the Indian team would miss Yuvraj Singh who had successfully played the role of a finisher in 2011, Mcgra said, "Pandya can play that role, Dinesh Karthik is also a good finisher. I feel they have a team that can do well.

As per the information received, former Pacer Mamgrath said, "Jasprit Bumrah is the best bowler in ODI cricket when it comes to India's bowling attack. He is bowling well in the final overs. They have a team that can do well in the World Cup. It has to be seen how they play in the England situation. Let's say the World Cup has started, all teams have had their early bouts.
