Cricketer turned broadcaster, Irfan Pathan, feels that Indian cricket “should not” give as a lot precedence to Hardik Pandya because it has given him as far as the batting allrounder is but to showcase his mettle on the worldwide degree.
“What I feel about Hardik Pandya is that Indian cricket needs to make it clear that they should not give him that much priority as they have given him so far because we still haven’t won the World Cup,” Irfan stated on Star Sports.
“And if you think you are a primary all-rounder, you need to make that kind of an impact at the international level. As far as the all-rounder is concerned he hasn’t made that impact at the international level, we are only thinking about the potential. We are getting confused between the IPL performances and the international performances. That’s a big difference.”
Irfan talked about that Indian cricket ought to not get confused between Hardik’s IPL and worldwide performances. The former India participant added that Hardik “can’t pick and choose” between worldwide cricket and the IPL and urged everybody to cease giving preferences to people in order that India may win main tournaments akin to Australia.
“First of all he needs to play throughout the full year. He cannot pick and choose. Indian cricket needs to stop doing that. Stop giving preferences to individuals, if you do that, you will not be winning major tournaments. What Australia has been doing for many years is that they are actually preferring the team game. Making everyone a superstar. Not one superstar, everybody is a superstar in the squad. If you don’t do that, you will not win big tournaments,” Irfan concluded.
Notably, Hardik has been the pale shadow of himself within the ongoing season of the cash-rich league match. The star allrounder has bagged simply 4 wickets in eight video games this season for Mumbai Indians and struggled to make the appropriate requires the franchise as captain on quite a few events.
