Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar, while talking about Hardik Pandya’s hitting, has said that it used to be common in the Pakistan team around 2000. He has also described Abdul Razzaq as better than Pandya in the case of hitting.
According to the news of ‘Hindustan Times’, Akhtar said that Pandya Brett Lee, Malkum Marshall, Jawagal Srinath or Waqar Yunis as fast bowler. But he does well because he is given that confidence.
Akhtar said that Pandya is not even such a large powerful hitter. He was just assured that this world is your platform and they do better. He said that Pandya is a good hitter. But this used to be common in Pakistan team.
Former Pakistan batsman Mohammad Hafiz also agreed with Akhtar and described Razzaq as better than Pandya. He said that as much as I have seen Razzaq playing, he was very good with Pandya.
Let us know that Pandya was playing as the third fast bowler in the first two league matches in the 2025 Champions Trophy for India. At the same time, he also bowled with a new ball with Mohammed Shami. During this time, he took four wickets the tournament.
Pandya came with this in the last overs and batted brilliantly for India. He scored 99 runs in a total of four innings in the tournament at a strike rate of 106.45.
