Medium pace and aggressive batting in the middle order. Fielding skills on the green carpet are no less. Hardik Pandya is a complete package of Indian cricket. His form has also reached peak in recent times. Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting also thinks Hardik is the best all-rounder in T20.
The injury knocked Hardik out of the team. Returned to the 22 yards with the Indian Premier League (IPL). Since then, a different Hardik is seen on the field. The IPL team under his leadership clinched the championship for the first time.
Hardik, who was once only a finisher, has now changed his batting strategy to become one of the most reliable one. Besides, Hardik is now regular with the ball after returning to the field after recovering from injury. The performance is also good.
Praising the performance of the Indian all-rounder, Ricky Ponting said, ”Hardik understands the game well. He even understands his game better now than ever before. Hardik is probably the world’s best all-rounder in T20 cricket at present. He is also very effective in ODI cricket.”
The continuation of Hardik’s IPL form can also be seen in the national team jersey. In the Asia Cup, Hardik also brought victory to India by handling the last-minute pressure against Pakistan. He also made an essential contribution in that match with the ball. Got the man of the match award.
