Rohit Sharma heaps praise on Hardik Pandya after his Man of the Match performance against Pakistan
Hardik Pandya was the hero for India in their win against Pakistan. He picked up three wickets and then scored an unbeaten 17-ball 33 to guide the Men in Blue home. Speaking at the post-match presentation, captain Rohit Sharma praised Pandya and said:
"Since the time he made his comeback, he's been great. He's been great in the IPL as well. All that matters. When he wasn't part of the team, he went back and figured out what he needs to do and went back to his fitness regime. He's clocking 140+ now, which is great for us, as is his batting."
