India opted to bowl first against Pakistan in the Asia Cup series on Sunday. Hardik Pandya and Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s superb bowling saw Pakistan all out for 147 runs. Hardik Pandya bowled 4 overs and gave away only 25 runs and took 3 huge wickets.
Also in batting he hit 33 runs including 4 fours and 1 six off only 17 balls and led the Indian team to victory. In this case, Harbhajan Singh, the former player of the Indian cricket team, expressed his appreciation for this amazing innings of Hardik.
“He should become a captain; I think he will become the captain. He has shown a different side of himself. He has become a MS Dhoni type of player. He is also very calm. He is also batting well. He has worked very hard and is back in action. I expect him to captain India. The way he showed his temperament during the match against Pakistan and during the IPL match was very good. I think he has got all the skills to captain the national team going forward,” Harbhajan Singh said.
