Although Hardik Pandya is a great all-rounder, he cannot be compared to Ben Stokes, says former Pakistan player Rashid Latif.
One of the greatest all-rounders in contemporary cricket is India’s Hardik Pandya. Not only an important player of Indian cricket but also a match winner. He can contribute to the team in every way like dynamic batting, great bowling and excellent bowling.
As a result, Hardik Pandya, who has re-established himself as an all-rounder in the Indian team, is seen as a key player for India in the T20 World Cup. He is in the best form of his career right now. In the first T20 against Australia, he scored 71 runs off 30 balls with 7 fours and 5 sixes.
In this case, Hardik Pandya, the best all-rounder, is being compared to Ben Stokes and the question is being raised as to who is the best all-rounder among the two.
But Hardik Pandya cannot be compared to Ben Stokes. He has bowled tremendously in major series like the World Cup and Test matches. So Hardik Pandya cannot be compared to Ben Stokes. A cup is a cup. Stokes has done well in major series and won trophies. So Rashid Latif opined that Stokes is definitely a better all-rounder than Hardik Pandya.
