'Will do whatever the team requires, but think I can play freely': Pandya
"It's been almost one and a half months since I have been preparing in this format - it's going to be important with the World T20 coming up. You will see me bowling in this series. With the kind of depth we have now, we can express ourselves pretty well, I have always played situations in my life - will do whatever the team requires, but think I can play freely. It's going to be a cracker of a series with the kind of depth they have. But T20 is such a format where things can change any time in the match," said all-rounder Hardik Pandya.
