The good performances in the Test series will do Pandya’s confidence a world of good

Unless you have been cut-off from the world of cricket, you will admit that the story of the meteoric rise of Hardik Pandya in the last year and a half has been nothing less than phenomenal. Once considered another talented youngster at the IPL, Pandya has shown that he has it in him to be successful at the international level.

From playing that famous counter-attacking innings against Pakistan in the final of the Champions Trophy earlier this year to having a successful debut series in Tests against Sri Lanka, the journey of Pandya from a promising youngster to a dependable all-rounder is now complete.

The good performances in the Test series will do Pandya’s confidence a world of good as he prepares to turn on the heat in the ODIs. He is after all the fast bowling all-rounder that India have long been searching for. Looking ahead to this series, we can expect some fireworks from him both with bat and ball.
