Skipper Rohit Sharma on Sunday lauded Hardik Pandya's brilliance with bat and ball after the all-rounder guided India to a thrilling five-wicket win over Pakistan in the Asia Cup Twenty20 tournament.
DUBAI : Hardik Pandya's talent was never in doubt and the India all-rounder has now combined a calm mind with an uncluttered approach to emerge as a serious match-winner as he demonstrated in Sunday's Asia Cup thriller against Pakistan.
Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Moin Khan believes that the country has the ability to win Asia Cup 2022. Ponting out that Pakistan broke the "stigma that India is too big a team" for them, Moin said that the side can win the continental cup if they rely on "aggressive approach" and "play together". It is worth noting that Pakistan have won just two titles of Asia Cup to date. The Babar Azam-led side started its 2022 Asia Cup campaign with a match against arch-rivals India on August 28.
Asia Cup opener last night was pretty lame despite the last over heroics. Blame it on or credit it to the players, who despite the pathology of nutters in both countries, show a healthy respect, even affection, for each other. The pain of loss and the joy of victory on a cricket field is totally different from the one we experience from our couch, the principal difference being those on the field gave it their all and those on the sofa rest on their fundament, getting up only to fetch their chai-samosa, beer-chips, or whatever was on the menu last night.
Andrew Strauss stepped down as England captain on this day in 2012 and retired from professional cricket.
Hardik Pandya's all-round performance helped Team India script a win over Pakistan in their Asia Cup clash on Sunday in Dubai. Started from scalping three wickets to smashing 33 runs off 17 balls, Hardik took India across the line with his winning six. Apart from his blistering performance, another thing which won everyone's hearts was when Hardik hugged Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan from behind, during the game. The picture soon went viral on the social media and the fans could not stop lavishing their praise for the lovely gesture made by the players of the both the countries.
India captain Rohit Sharma feels Hardik Pandya has returned with a better understanding of his game and is more confident about what he wants to do with both bat and ball. Hardik put up an all-round effort to help India register a five-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan in their Asia Cup opener on Sunday. With the ball he snared three wickets, including that of the dangerous Mohammad Rizwan, before dazzling with a 17-ball unbeaten 33, showing his high value under extreme pressure.
Babar Azam is confident Naseem Shah will suffer no lasting effects of the cramp which saw him hobble from the field at the end of Pakistan’s loss to India in the Asia Cup on Sunday night.
