Hardik Pandya has the ability to clear any cricket ground in the world with his power strokes, coach of the Indian cricket team Ravi Shastri has said. In the recently concluded ODI series against Australia, Pandya was at his destructive best, smashed some of the biggest sixes.
“He is a dangerous guy. He can be a floater in the batting order — tremendous striker of the ball, especially when he hits spinners. I have not seen too many players strike against spinners like that. Yuvraj Singh in his hey days may be. This guy can clear any ground in the world, be it second ball, third ball. It’s the exuberance of youth,” Shastri said.
Pandya was promoted to number four in the batting order and scored 78 runs in the Indore ODI which India won. The all-rounder’s promotion in batting order is said to be Shastri’s call.
