Hardik Pandya is two in one, He is luxury says Glenn McGrath
Glenn McGrath referred to India’s star cricketer as a “two-in-one” player, believing that his impactful skills make him a power to reckon with.
From head to toe, the current Indian team is loaded with match-winners. In fact, the depth of Indian cricket is such that a second-string side can defeat a first-team opponent. Deepak Hooda, Ruturaj Gaikwad, and Arshdeep Singh are putting their cases forward so that the new guard can take over smoothly when the time comes.
The seniors, on the other hand, have some time before they retire. The Indian team will be led by Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami, Ravindra Jadeja, and others until at least the 2023 World Cup, with the goal of ending the country’s ICC trophy drought. In addition to these four top stars, Hardik Pandya has returned as an important member of the unit.
Since returning from injury, India’s all-rounder has been performing better than ever, picking wickets, scoring runs, and taking catches. According to legendary Australia pacer Glenn McGrath, a utility player like Pandya is an asset to any team. Pandya has been described as a “two-in-one” player by McGrath, who believes his impactful all-around abilities make him a force to be reckoned with.
“Cricket is a confident sport. Hardik is a player who exudes confidence. His batting improves when he bowls well. He is actually two people rolled into one. He’s a lot of fun. He is both a powerful batter and a good, intelligent bowler. He has a well-planned strategy “McGrath spoke with reporters about the situation.
When asked about the future of ODI cricket, McGrath admitted that the 50-over format is struggling to keep up with the growing popularity of T20Is. While Test cricket is his preferred format, the former Australian quick believes that more efforts should be made to keep ODIs exciting.
“I strongly believe in tradition. I enjoyed watching Tests and One-Day Internationals. For me, Test cricket is the pinnacle. I hope it continues to be protected and respected. One-Day Internationals are exciting as long as runs are scored. It will be interesting to see where the One-Day Internationals go in the future. They must continue to make ODIs exciting. They face a number of difficulties “He continued.
