Former player Aakash Chopra has given his side regarding this performance of Hardik Pandya. Aakash Chopra shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Hardik Pandya was the player of the series. He has faced a lot of trouble in his life due to personal reasons and has been criticized by many people in his professional life also. Hardik Pandya played very few balls in this series but his strike rate was above 200. This is really a big thing. His swag was also quite different. Hardik Pandya hit a six over cover and hit it with one hand towards the leg side without looking. Hardik Pandya was batting in a very different manner. It seemed that the experienced all-rounder was insulting the bowlers. Hardik Pandya has had a great performance in T20 cricket in 2024 Hardik Pandya batted very well in the Indian Premier League played this year. After recovering from the injury, he returned to the Mumbai Indians team in the IPL. Mumbai Indians appointed him as their captain in IPL 2024. However, all the fans were quite disappointed as to why the Mumbai team made Hardik Pandya their captain after removing Rohit Sharma. Many people had strongly criticized Hardik Pandya on social media. Not only this, even during the match, many people were booing for Hardik Pandya in the stadium. Hardik Pandya’s captaincy was very poor in IPL 2024 and Mumbai Indians won only four out of 10 matches. The franchise was at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table. In the T20 World Cup 2024, Hardik Pandya played an important role in Team India’s victory not only with batting but also with bowling and silenced all the critics. The excellent all-rounder would like to continue his performance in future also.

Akash says that Hardik is a very trained player. It is noteworthy that the third match of the ongoing T20 series between India and Bangladesh will be played today, Saturday, October 12, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. Team India has already won the T20 series by winning two matches. Aakash Chopra gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the India vs Bangladesh third T20 match, Aakash Chopra said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – Nitish Kumar Reddy and Hardik Pandya, this is a wonderful thing that is happening in the Indian team at the moment. Shivam Dubey used to be a part of this team, but now he is no more, Tilak Verma has come in his place. Nitish has been brought up to speed with the mindset that he should be fed as much as possible. Akash further said- He has been made to bat at number 4 and has been given full overs. They’re trying to prepare him because the potential is clear. I would still say that he is a little less prepared in bowling, because if you see his and Hardik’s bowling, Hardik is a very trained player. He bowls with great experience and takes wickets. However, Nitish Kumar Reddy has ability with the bat. There is no doubt about it because he hits sixes while standing at his place. He opens his front foot, clears the line and then hits.
“Release Hardik Pandya” – Jadeja gave important advice to Mumbai Indians
53-year-old Jadeja believes that fast bowler Bumrah is more important than Hardik. In such a situation, use of RTM for Hardik can prove beneficial for MI. Jadeja said, “If you have RTM then you can take advantage of it. I am not saying that it decides the ability or strength of the player. However, if you look at a player like Bumrah and his value and then Hardik in the market, it will be a difficult task.”
Hardik Pandya will never be able to return to Test cricket, former Indian player dismisses all speculations
He (Hardik Pandya) was practicing only with red-ball because white-ball was not available – Parthiv Patel Hardik Pandya & Parthiv Patel (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya was recently seen practicing with the red ball, after which the news of his return to Test cricket has intensified. Meanwhile, former Indian wicketkeeper Parthiv Patel has dismissed all reports of Hardik Pandya returning to the longest format of the game. Parthiv says that Hardik’s body is not in a condition to withstand the rigors of the five-day format. I am not seeing Hardik Pandya in Test – Parthiv Patel While talking about Hardik Pandya’s return to the Test format in a recent interview given to Hindustan Times, Parthiv Patel said that Hardik was practicing with the red ball because the white ball was not available. I am not seeing Hardik Pandya (in Tests). He was practicing only with the red-ball as the white-ball was not available. I don’t think his body allows him to play four-day and five-day matches. He will have to play at least one first-class match (before being considered for Test selection), which is very unlikely. Hardik Pandya last played a Test match for India in 2018 against England in Southampton. After this, continuous injuries kept him away from Test cricket. The all-rounder has scored 532 runs for India in 11 Test matches at an average of 31.29, which includes one century and 4 half-centuries. At the same time, he has also taken 17 wickets at an average of 31.05. Yash Dayal had to be given a chance in the second test – Parthiv Patel The second match of the Test series is currently being played between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur. However, the second day’s play has been canceled due to rain. Parthiv Patel says that Team India could have given a chance to Yash Dayal in the Kanpur Test. Because then the team will not be able to experiment in the upcoming Test series against New Zealand. India had a chance to use Yash Dayal in the second test. I am not underestimating Bangladesh, but if this Test match is drawn, it is very important to keep in mind that the next series will be against New Zealand, and then they will not be in a position to experiment.
“Everyone wants to be like Hardik but they can’t do it” – Mohit Sharma’s strong statement on Hardik Pandya
Mohit Sharma told that Hardik Pandya used to give his best on the field despite his back problem. Hardik Pandya (Image Credit- Twitter X) Veteran Indian pacer Mohit Sharma recently spoke about his experience of playing under Hardik Pandya’s captaincy with Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League. He suggested that the all-rounder is extremely expressive, a trait that many aspire to possess but fail to master. Sharma said that if someone wants to be humble, it does not mean that every person would want the same. He said that Hardik is often misunderstood because it is not easy to accept a strong personality. Speaking on the YouTube channel 2Sloggers, Sharma said: “The concept of being misunderstood is different for every person. If I choose to be humble, it doesn’t mean everyone would want to be humble. There are some people who express too much. In our community, we find it hard to accept when someone comes across like that.” “Let me give you a perfect example – if you live in a high-rise building and see someone enjoying the rain, we also feel like doing the same, but our hesitation stops us from doing so. So, everyone wants to be like Hardik, but they can’t be like him, which results in these things happening.” Hardik Pandya captained Gujarat before rejoining his former franchise Mumbai Indians (MI) ahead of IPL 2024 and he led GT to the title in its debut edition in 2022 and finished runners-up the following season. “He is a lovely guy and very easy going” Mohit Sharma about Hardik Pandya Speaking in the video, Mohit Sharma said that Hardik Pandya is a very easy-going person. He said that the best quality of the 30-year-old Pandya as a captain is to infuse positive energy in the team and motivate everyone. He also told that Hardik Pandya used to give his best on the field despite his back problem. “As a person, Hardik is a very nice guy. He is a lovely person and very easy-going. He makes the atmosphere very entertaining. No matter what the world thinks. As a leader, there is always scope for improvement. The biggest quality of Hardik is that he motivates his players because he himself likes to be motivated.” “When he does that, it is inspiring for the people around him. He somehow gets his back fixed, but he still has some cramps and back pain. It is easy for people to say that, but you have to be in that situation to understand. When you have a back injury you can’t even move, but in that condition, he fields and tries to bowl two overs.”
Neither Bumrah, nor Pandya, nor SKY, Dinesh Karthik called these two players India’s next all format captain

After that Suryakumar Yadav was appointed the captain of Team India’s T20 format.

Regarding this, former Team India wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has given his answer. Dinesh Karthik has named two players who can become the captain of Team India in future. While making the prediction, he named batsman Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. Dinesh Karthik told who will be India’s next all format captain Dinesh Karthik was asked on Cricbuzz who can become the captain of the Indian team in the future, in response to this question he said, “As the next future captain of all formats of India, two players come straight to my mind who are young, have potential and can definitely lead India in all formats in the near future, one is Rishabh Pant and the other is Shubman Gill, both are captains of IPL teams and have also captained India. I think with time they have a chance to become captains of all formats for India.” In the same video, Karthik also told who is the better Test batsman between Virat Kohli and Joe Root? He said, “Look, the stats will tell you that it is Joe Root, but my heart is with Virat Kohli. In fact, he is someone whom I have seen play for more than a decade and I know how much he loves to play in those big moments, big series. When someone asks him questions, he will come back to you with such strong answers that you will say wow, if I was given a choice as to whose batting I would like to watch in my life, there is no doubt that I would name Virat Kohli.”
