Hardik Pandya contributed with an vital 44-ball 64 in the third and the ultimate ODI in opposition to England on Sunday in Pune which India gained by 7 runs to clinch the sequence 2-1. His Fifth-wicket partnership with Rishabh Pant helped India get previous the 300 run mark and put up a successful complete of 329 in the sequence decider.
The 27-year-old all-rounder has been contributing repeatedly with the bat in current instances. He has 7 half-centuries to his title in One Day Internationals however is but to attain a century. Former Indian cricketer turned commentator Aakash Chopra believes that Pandya will breach the three-figure mark in ODIs if he’s promoted up in the batting order.
“Four wickets had fallen at one time. When KL Rahul got out, it seemed the innings had floundered. The way he batted after that, he has the strength, he updated his batting software when he was injured. He has started playing like a proper batsman,” he mentioned.
“There is a specific game plan that he will go deep inside the crease against fast bowlers and keep his weight forward despite that, so that he is not off-position while playing the shots. He has been consistently scoring runs, whether it is spin or fast bowling and was actually upset that he got out at the wrong time. If he had kept on playing, 390 was also possible,” concluded Chopra.
