Sometimes, given the talent that is at display in the Indian team, we tend to forget what Hardik Pandya can do. The wiry player that he is, he packs a punch, and can clear any boundary in the world with utmost ease. This is perhaps, what the South African bowlers need to be reminded, especially spinner George Linde, who was hit for 27 runs in the 14th over.
And out of those, Hardik Pandya went on to smash the bowler for — 4, 6, 6, 4. That was in a way, rolling back the years, where the all-rounder would just take the attack to the opposition bowlers. That meant, he slammed his 7th T20I fifty, that too in just 16 balls, the second fastest for an Indian, behind Yuvraj Singh’s 12-ball feat vs England in 2007.
