"Ye Ladka Bahut Pasand Hai": Wasim Akram On "Fearless" India Star
Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram was all praise for Hardik Pandya, saying that the all-rounder is his favourite player in the shortest format of the game. Akram's comments came ahead of the India-Pakistan Asia Cup Super 4 clash in Dubai. Both teams had met during the Group stage, and it was Hardik who proved to be the match-winner for India. The all-rounder took three wickets and played a decisive cameo of 33 not out off 17 balls. Ahead of the Super 4 clash, Akram labelled Hardik as a "fearless" cricketer, and added that the all-rounder reminds him of himself.
