"He's clocking 140+ now, which is great for us, as is his batting"- Rohit Sharma applauds Hardik Pandya's recent exploits

Speaking at the post-match presentation after the five-wicket victory against Pakistan, Rohit Sharma showered praise on Hardik Pandya for displaying the brilliant form in both the batting and bowling departments.

He also shed light on the hard yards put in by his former Mumbai Indians to improve his fitness. Rohit Sharma 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.

Sharma continued:

"He's a lot calmer, yes, but he's also confident of what he wants to execute on the field. We saw the short balls today. A lot of hard work goes into it.

"It was a lot more about understanding his own game and he's done that now. When you're in a situation like that in a high-pressure game, you can panic but he showed no signs of that and took us through."

Team India will next face Hong Kong in their final Group A match of the Asia Cup 2022 on August 31 (Wednesday).
