After Hardik Pandya’s heroics with the bat yesterday, when he smashed a whirlwind century, The chairman of selectors MSK Prasad feels that the allrounder has the potential to match the legendary Kapil Dev, provided the all-rounder stays grounded.
“If he stays grounded I am sure we will see him being compared to the legendary Kapil Dev in the times to come,” Prasad told PTI after Pandya hit his maiden Test ton that had as many as seven huge sixes.
When Prasad was asked if India’s search for a potent all-rounder is over, he said “yes”.
“I am very happy to say that our search for an all- rounder has been successful in the form of Hardik,” Prasad, a former India wicketkeeper, said.
“He has already established himself in shorter formats (ODIs and T20) very well and this Test series has given him a good platform to establish himself in the longest format,” Prasad said.
