No one can match Pandya’s all-round abilities: Virender Sehwag

TIL Desk Sports/ Former India opener Virender Sehwag is known to call a spade a spade and he believes that there is no all-rounder in the Indian team who is as good as Hardik Pandya.

“There is no one even close to Hardik Pandya’s talent with both bat and ball. If there was someone even closer to him — the three-dimensional players picked by BCCI — Pandya would not have made it back into the team,” Sehwag told.

Pandya will be expected to play a crucial role if India are to stay true to the favourite tag and win the 2019 World Cup in England and Wales.

The Mumbai Indians player was in full flow in the recently concluded 12th edition of the Indian Premier League, scoring 402 runs in 15 innings in the tournament at an astonishing strike rate of 191.42.
