He plays two roles at once: Glenn Mcgrath says that Hardik Pandya is a “luxury” after his incredible comeback.
Hardik Pandya’s comeback has been one of the most exciting things to happen in cricket so far in 2022. The star Indian all-rounder has made a strong comeback and has become one of the leading players in India’s white-ball team again after a bad year in which he struggled with injuries and form.
After India was eliminated from the 2021 T20 World Cup in the group stage, Pandya stopped playing for almost six months. Later, in their first season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2022, Hardik led Gujarat Titans to the title. Hardik has been in great form with the bat since his return to the national team. In fact, he led the Men in Blue for the first time in the two games against Ireland.
Hardik’s Comeback
Hardik’s remarkable comeback has been praised by everyone in cricket, and now legendary Australian fast bowler Glenn Mcgrath has joined the chorus. Mcgrath said that Hardik was like having “two players in one” and that he was a “luxury” for the team.
What Mcgrath said
“Cricket is very much a confidence sport. Hardik is very much a confidence player. If he is bowling well, it has a positive impact on his batting. He is two players in one. He is a luxury. He is a good, intelligent bowler and powerful hitter. He has got a good game plan,” Mcgrath told reporters during an interaction.
Hardik is currently in the West Indies with the Indian team for the five-match Twenty20 International series. India won the first game by 68 runs. In the second game, which was a close thriller, they lost by five wickets. Tuesday (August) at Werner Park in St. Kitts will be the third game of the series. The fourth and fifth games will take place in Florida, which is in the United States of America (USA).
