Indian Team: When it comes to all-rounders in India, Hardik Pandya's name comes first at the moment. Hardik is a great bowler along with batting but the truth is that apart from him, no other player has got many opportunities.
In this episode, there is a young Indian player who is consistently performing well in domestic cricket but is not getting a chance due to Pandya being in the team.
Actually, Prerak Mankad is also a fast bowling all-rounder but he did not even get a chance to debut for Team India. This player performed well in domestic cricket but despite this he was not included in the team.
Despite Pandya getting injured repeatedly, no fast bowling all-rounder was prepared nor was his replacement found.
In the same sequence, Prerak also did not get a chance to play for India and was not given a chance even after his good performance.The 30-year-old player has now played a total of 54 first class matches in his career, in which he has scored 2511 runs with an average of 33. During this, he has scored 3 centuries and 15 half-centuries. Apart from this, he has also taken 49 wickets in bowling.
Prerak has played 60 List A matches so far, in which he has scored 1667 runs at an average of 35 and a strike rate of more than 100 and during this time he has scored 4 centuries and 7 half-centuries.
