Hardik Pandya has the potential to be the best all-rounder in the world

Played his part yesterday with a lovely little cameo with the bat and then that memorable last over.
 
To be honest that was a very poor last over, though our execution was even worse. And not impressed by his batting
 
Bangladesh should be thankful to Sarkar yesterday. That catch! Pandya was ready for the massacre of Bangla bowlers.

He doesn't need to impress bangla fans as long as he is owning them in the match, mushy wasn't impressed with pandya too :srini

Hell no, why does he even give a damn about them? I'm just stating the obvious. Those 2 set batsmen's wickets in 15th over resulted India in scoring at least 20 runs less.
 
He needs to work on his batting, he is only a slogger now. But in T20 it is OK.

His bowling is quite average. Does not know how to bowl a good slowball or yorker.

Must be persisted with cos he does have the potential.

Right. He needs to take batting more seriously. Great potential in hitting. Bowling is fine, he can bowl the filler overs effectively. Good package for an allrounder deprived country like India.
 
Quite like Pollard..A t20 material. Don't have faith for odis or tests and I don't think he is reqd there.
 
Pandya is a long way from being a finished product. But he has the ingredients and more importantly a positive attitude. He needs to be groomed in A tours for playing ODIs next as at the moment he is strictly for T20s only.

He doesnt have the skills to play at the test level right not, but he has age on his side.

Till now, he has been more of an "in the flow" guy.

If we are in a good shape in batting, he seems to hit them.

If other bowlers have kept pressure, he comes in and delivers the filler overs (sometimes taking wickets too).

But he is yet to go against the flow which is very important. Like him batting when others are not clicking or him delivering a good spell to create pressure instead of sustaining the existing one.

He doesn't have to do both amazingly well but needs to do them somewhat in some games.

Still early days.

He is very crucial for a pace AR deprived nation.

Is he better than Maxwell?

Difficult to compare spin AR with pace AR.

But no.

Maxwell has given many game changing performances for Aus (most notably in the finals of the Carlton tri series where he rescued Aus after they were 4 down for less than 100).

Pandya has a long way to go before he is at the level of Maxwell.
 
I am very happy with him, we as a country never had the privilege of having ARs like Razzaq,Flintoff or a Kallis,so he is a big plus for us, whatever he is doing he is justifying his place,plz keep away the negativity,hum ARs ke mamle me gareeb hai, aise hi players bahat hai humare liye
 
As [MENTION=139353]ChachaCricket[/MENTION] said, he can be our Andre Russell if he develops properly. Needs to improve both on batting and bowling and he can be a top all rounder.
 
He is very raw. Got big hits with bat, pace with ball, is superb in field... but somehow the whole package feels not quite there. Give him time, he will be very good.
 
I don't recall Andre Russel bowling a phenomenal last over like that.
 
People keep forgetting Pandya is playing on the worst possible pitches for his type of bowling. Outside SC he is a sure shot fast bowling option for 10 overs/4 overs in both formats full quota without a problem.
 
Not Good enough bowler.

Decent clean hitter if he can channel his batting aggression.


His last over yesterday.


https://youtu.be/Z2N-BKFFVjE


First ball : Attempted wide yorker but not executed well and it was half volley deserving four. Backing away Mahmood had to stretch to take a single.

Second ball : Bad Ball another bad ball and tonked for 4 by Mushfiq

Third ball : Good ball. Spot on. Mushfiq played a cheeky shot at the very last moment and got a cheeky four.

Fourth ball : Another bad ball. Deserved 4 or 6 and Mushfiq got out. Length delivery asking for trouble.


Fifth ball : Juicy fulltoss deserving 6 or minimum 4 and Mahmood gets out. Hit fultosses (bat turns) or low fultosses (hard to middle) are difficult but it was a juicy one at medium fast speed and Mahmood out out.

Sixth ball : Good ball. He executed his plan and hard to hit a four on such a ball or take 2 runs if you are new at crease.


So Pandya bowled 2 good balls and 4 poor balls in that over.



Note : Only a Pakistani or Ex-Pakistani could lose that match from that position against Such last over.
 
You gotta be kidding me. He is a decent trundler. He is more useful as a lower order bat who can tonk the ball. Or maybe this is one of your trollposts FC
 
Bit generous on the third ball there I think, was short and wide and I doubt he had time to react to the shot being played looking at the highlights.

No way KP or afridi. But he's got talent for sure. His bat swing is clean and crisp. He will be awesome on fast and bouncy pitches. He may be the one we have been badly looking for to fill the 7th position all rounder. He doesn't need to score hundreds a quick fire 30-40 in 15-16 balls is enough. I would
Like to see him in 50 overs and test matches

Seriously compared to Wahab, Sami and the Giant :facepalm:
 
His hitting is clean if it connects. He needs to improve his bowling but he is a good medium pacer. He can improve and can be the solution of bowling all rounder.

You are getting too emotional after Pakistan's performance. He is not even at Anwar Ali's level yet. He still has lot to learn. He is a very good fielder though. He can be handy outside subcontinent if he improves his bowling.

Disagree about flow. He came in and upped the tempo twice in the Sri Lanka series before Asia cup, when the other indian batsmen before him were completely bogged down. Did the same yesterday, came in and started smacking boundaries everywhere from the 2nd ball. If not for the brilliant catch by Sarkar, would have taken India to a winning total easily.

But yes, he's a limited batsman, bit of a slogger. and very one-dimensional bowler, but crucially is quick enough to be useful. Inspite of the poor last over, the 2 wickets fell, because the bongle batsman were a bit late on the shot both times, his pace created the wicket opportunity along with stupid shot selection.

He doesn't need to be a class bat, India can carry an inconsistent #7 even in ODIs, if he can provide those big hits on a semi-regular basis. And his bowling can only improve, you can teach variations, but you can't teach pace. Plus, a very good fielder to boot. He converted a 6 into a single against Australia in the Aus T20 with a acrobatic leap, in a game where we ended up chasing 200 successfully. Crucial play, that most will not remember. And already has taken quite a few good catches.

Excellent prospect, and can be a good role player for Indian team, where they really don't have too many options at seam-bowling all-rounder.
 
unless pitch is assisting..this guy should not bowl a ball...the numbers of balls that he bowls against AUS decides the course of the match....the less he bowls...the more india's chances
 
Yeah, he will be cannon fodder against Aus with his one-note short pitch stuff. It works to a certain degree against Asian teams who don't play the short quick stuff that well. Never fear, we have Yuvi and Raina waiting in the wings to bowl :ravi.

Seriously, no Dhoni emoticon? You have the likes of Odoyo and ronaldo, but no Dhoni, yuvraj etc. That's lame.

Of course, he is a good prospect but the examples you gave are not against the flow.

SL 1st game - We crumbled. He got out.
SL 2nd game - He walked in at 127-3 in 14 overs. Smashing it from there is good but that's not against the flow.
SL 3rd game he didn't play.

Yesterday, he was very good with the bat. Taking no credit away from him but Raina did put us in upward momentum, and he was sent up the order to start smashing everything. Him smashing then isn't an against the flow example cos there was little pressure on him and he basically could throw his bat at everything (which is what he was sent for).

My point about against the flow is simple.

He must be someone reliable that we can have confidence with the bat and ball when we are in tough spots (he doesn't have to deliver always but sometimes).

As of now, its a bit less but he can evolve so must be persisted with.

That doesn't mean he gives us the confidence right now. He doesn't.

That's just the way it is.

Yes but Pandya's role is not to play a DHoni innings in crisis. He is there to slog 15 to 20 runs and play the 3rd seamer's role. He needs to improve his bowling but somehow he has the knack of picking wickets. He is a clean hitter no doubt but needs to improve his off side game. Terrific fielder and someone who values the opportunity to play for India. Add to that his confidence. Great find for India in LOIs.

Doesn't have to play the crisis man. That's a big ask and unfair on him. If he does that great.

But its true that when our top order crumbles, we mentally start worrying about his wicket.

And when our bowlers don't have a good day, we start worrying about his overs.

Take Jaddu for example.

Batting wise, we don't hope much from him. Whatever comes is bonus.

But bowling wise, you know you can expect a certain level of performance even if others don't do well. You don't have to really worry about his bowling. You still look at him as someone who can help you barring certain off days.

Pandya needs to develop a bit of solidity in either batting or bowling or both. That would help us assess our team strengths and plan accordingly.

Being a bit shaky and a wild card in both may not look bad on paper but will do so in a real match situation.

This by no means is a harsh criticism of him but just a fair assessment of him based on his performance (not stats) of him. He is defo a good find for us. I have hopes from him and a few others.

You just gave your own definition of flow differently - meaning you want him to stabilize the innings when wickets are falling. Thats fine. I think thats a valid expectation from a batting allrounder. He has not been able to do it yet - but to be fair, he was given out LBW against NZ incorrectly - would have been overturned with DRS. And he showed the right attitude, wasn't out playing a mindless slog, but was trapped on the pads with a quicker one going down leg without the turn by Santner.

I actually think your expectations are a bit inverted - his bowling is weaker than his batting - I would keep expectations higher from him as a batsman than a bowler. He's strictly a filler bowler at the moment. Maybe more useful if keeps improving. But at least the raw material is there - like I said before, he can be taught how to bowl tighter lines, variations, but you can't teach pace. And at high 130s, low 140s, that's quick enough for a 3rd or 4th seamer.

Not strictly when wickets are falling but someone who has the assurance of being reliable.

Like walking in at his original spot and doing his job taking an average score to make it better than whats expected.
In rare cases, yeah batting when others have gone down.

Raina for example is known as an out and out clutch player. But he too rarely scores when others have crumbled. Where he excels is taking those average moments and turning it into an advantage for us.

Very less sample set for Pandya but it remains to be seen where exactly he stands.

And yeah you are right that batting looks to be his stronger suit.

I just want him to get solid in either one. That would allow us to know what our strengths exactly are.
 
He is a good striker of the ball but to assess him as a complete batsman need to see him in ODIs and see whether he is able to construct an innings. The less said about his bowling the better. Also he has a big mouth. Recently he said Mushfiqur can't hit sixes off him. He actually thinks his bowling won India that match. Also his celebrations in that match was really tasteless. I really hope he is in the team when Bangladesh play India next. I know that a lot of the Bangladeshi players are ****** at him and are waiting to give it back to him. Should be great to watch.
 
Bangladeshis mad at Hardik Pandya.He has made them cry twice in 3 matches.It has hurt big time.OUCH. :))

LOL. BD cricket always revolves around Indian cricket and Indian players. Apparently BD players are ****** off at Rohit (their nemesis), Dhawan (Asian Cup final MOM), Kohli (You know..attitude), Raina(In general), Dhoni (for that run out), Pandya (big mouth, WC last over), Ashwin (Celebrations and SHakib's wicket). The only issue is..What can you do about it? I know because I've seen it. Celebrate the victories of opponents that play India while sitting at home. That's the best way to get revenge. LOL
 
Hardik should never play for India again. Total tool. Cannot play pace and bowls absolute pies. He looked much better in IPL a couple of years ago.

Krunal is a better bowler and batsman. But he is like Jadeja. He will find it hard to get into Indian team..

India should continue to look for other options.
 
Not sure whether Hardik is completely out of form or is getting found out.

There was a point of time, Binny looked like a okayish to decentish option but in reality, that decent phase was him performing at his best. :))

Dunno about Pandya.

Can't say anything much about Krunal too. But he has been performing consistently well.

Asnodkar, Valthaty, Axar Patel all looked crazy good for 1 IPL season.

Then it went downhill.

More sample set is needed.

It's that and also his celebrations during the game which were very disrespectful. It's funny that he thinks his bowling won the game and not the brainfarts from the Bangladesh batsman. And his statement is hilarious. Mushfiq has smacked some of the best bowlers in the world like Dale Steyn and Mitchell Johnson. Also he has particularly dominated Indian bowlers in the past especially in that match-winning innings in the 2012 Asia Cup. Don't know who Pandya thinks he is. Really hope he is in the Indian team when Bangladesh and India play each other next. If he gets the ball I fully expect the Bangladeshi batsmen to destroy him.
 
Mushfiqur certainly isn't incapable. Pandya probably didn't follow ICC CWC where Mushy smashed quite a few sixes.

However, he just wanted to play mind games with Mushfiq.

Having said that, I think it would be fitting if Bumrah said it. Pandya is a nothing bowler really. However, mind games really. And I don't see any reason why BDeshis should be hating this comment. Its not like Rohit Sharma or Kohli said it.

He won't be the best batsman in Lanka by a 'country mile' as we have Mathews and chandimal.

Pakistan and SL could both find a place for him as a batsman though.
 
Seems to have lost his focus a little bit. Someone in the MI camp needs to talk to him patiently and get him back on track.
Good thing is we will not be playing too many ODIs/T20s till around Nivember so Pandya will get a chance to work on his skills perhaps on the A tours and in tbe FC season. Needs slight fine tuning in his batting and bowling techniques.

In 2014 and early 2015, he was a decent batsman. After that, it was all downhill. Right now, he can't get into any team barring BD and ZIM. I firmly believe that he should be dropped and some one like Litton Das or Anamul should be the keeper. They are better batsmen and should be persisted with

Don't think so. Dhoni likes him and the prospect of playing a seam bowling allrounder in the team. Unless there is a replacement, he will be there. His record is decent in domestic ODI and T20 is decent and he is still young.

Hopefully though the selectors and captain is not as dumb as the fans who think Pandya doesn't have it. He is among the finest LOI talents India's discovered and looking at his pace and bounce i might wanna see how he fares in tests abroad as well.

He lost it completely. He should seriously work on his batting as well as bowling. No conviction in either of them.

Right now Pandya is a poor man's Robin Singh. I would take Binny over him anyday.
 
His batting will be more of use than his bowling, but even his batting will need a lot of work. Don't think he will be the best all rounder in the world.

He will certainly end up as the worst all rounder of all time. Horrible bowler and blind slugger and not adding his awful attitude towards the opposition. No sportsmanship at all.

I'm not saying this is the last we have seen of him. He will be part of India for some time now. His incompetence will only gradually be revealed.
 
Comparison with KP is pretty laughworthy..

Decent fight though from Pandya.He will improve with time.
