The former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir predicted the most important pair for the Indian team which could even become the difference between victory and defeat for the side in the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022. Gautam Gambhir always keeps a keen eye on the activities of Indian cricket team and in the World Cup of 2011 final, he played a crucial and biggest knock of the match 97 (122), so his experience and opinion is considered as an important one when it comes to analyse tournaments like ICC T20 World Cup.
The Indian star all rounder Hardik Pandya is in topnotch form these days but the Pacer Jasprit bumrah is suffering from back injury which is not a good symptom when Indian team is heading towards the most important tournament at the stage of world cricket.

So while interacting with Star Sports, Gautam Gambhir said, ”Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah are key. Him and Jasprit Bumrah can bowl in conditions, situations. Hardik Pandya is world class. We all know about his ability with the bat but imagine he is bowling over 140 plus with the ball…what else can you expect from an all-rounder”.

Later he added, “He is an absolute match-winner, x-factor, whatever names you can give him, If India are making a statement now, and if India needs to do the same in the World Cup, these two guys need to fire. If India wants to have any chance of winning the World Cup, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya have to fire.”
