Asia Cup 2022 | Hardik Pandya’s prowess against pace and spin is there for everyone to see, states Sanjay Manjrekar

Ever since IPL 2022 began, Hardik Pandya has re-emerged as the player whom everyone has been 🎀looking upon more often than not.🐭 Hardik led Gujarat Titans to help them win the prestigious title in their debut season and contributed immensely with both bat and ball to make that happen. He has been carrying his form in the national colours as well, chipping in with handy contributions whenever required.

Former Indian player turned commentator Sanjay Manjrekar lauded Hardik for his reemergence after recovering from a long-term injury. In fact, Manjrekar believes Har🉐dik will dominate in India’s Asia Cup opener versus Pakistan, especiall🍨y against Pakistan’s all-rounder Shadab Khan. Manjrekar highlighted Pandya’s all-round hitting ability which is key to his success.

"Hardik Pandya has a🌼 pretty good record against Pakistan. If you r♓emember the 2019 World Cup as well, he was the one who got runs in that match against Pakistan. Hardik Pandya, at the moment, is batting like a dream," Manjrekar told Sports 18.

"His (Pandya's) prowess against pace and spin is there for everyone to see. Shadab Khan 🍌is a pretty competitive bowler. He is not the traditional wrist-spinner that you get; he doesn't turn the ball massively but has the guiles that you need in T20 cricket."

Hardik, along with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and the others, will be charged up to take revenge against Pakistan in the Asia Cup aไfter their embarrassing 10-wicket defeat at the last T20 World C🤪up in the UAE.
