Amid the debate over whether to include Pandya or Dube in India's playing eleven, the 200 World Cup winner feels both will get an opportunity to showcase their finishing abilities, with the former being the first choice while Dube will be in the knockout stages of the tournament. Will make space.

Pandya had a disappointing IPL campaign and contributed only 216 runs while captaining Mumbai Indians in a poor season. In contrast, Dubey scored 396 runs including three half-centuries at a strike rate of 162.29 for Chennai Super Kings.

"Now the good thing about the Indian team is that they will get a chance to get in form before the Super 8, because apart from Pakistan, we will play teams who are not at the top level. This will give us a chance to perform and the stars will be good. Feeling.Once on the big stage, if you start feeling good, it is a completely different ball game, I hope that happens,” Pathan said in the Star Sports press room.

“Talking about the best finishing options for the Indian team, I think Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dubey will play different roles. Hardik will have a designated role to finish off games, and Shivam Dubey will play as a floater, at least in the playoffs, to act as an enforcer against the spinners. He will play that kind of role,'' he said.

The former cricketer addressed Pandya's decline in batting form and advised him to bring back his wide batting stance to regain his form."We all know that Hardik's hitting ability has gone down, and that's probably because he wants to bat higher up the order. He used to have a big batting stance, a wide stance, which gives you a good base But in the last 1.5 years his stance has gone down a bit. When you have that kind of stance, you have more free movement that you want when the ball is doing something. I think if he wants to play that kind of role, he needs to go back to his basic stance with a wider stance, which will give him a bigger base to hit,” Pathan said.

Pandya took 11 wickets, most of which came in the last matches of the IPL and he will be eyeing to continue his bowling form in the T20s as well.The 39-year-old said his bowling form will boost his confidence with the bat in the latter stages of the IPL.

"One more thing, if he is bowling, he should carry on in the same manner as he did in the last IPL. This will also help his batting as he is primarily a batting all-rounder rather than a bowling all-rounder in the Indian team. "Plays in." All-rounder However, it works both ways; If you do well in one area, it boosts your confidence in another area. So, I am confident that by the time the World Cup comes, the in-form all-rounder will sort out any issues with his firepower and play a major role in the tournament.
