“He saves his best for the big match”,Aakash Chopra appreciates Hardik Pandya for always performing well against Pakistan.
Aakash Chopra has commended Hardik Pandya for consistently performing at his best during crucial matches against Pakistan. During India’s Asia Cup 2023 Group A match against Pakistan in Pallekele on September 2, Pandya scored an impressive 87 runs off 90 deliveries. His performance contributed to India setting a target of 267 runs for Babar Azam and his team. Unfortunately, the match was abandoned due to rain, and no balls were bowled in the second innings.
In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Chopra spoke highly of Pandya’s ability to shine on significant occasions, particularly when facing Pakistan
Aakash Chopra said “Hardik Pandya’s story is very good. I feel he should be given more credit for what he does. He saves his best for the big match, that’s something that we should all admire and acknowledge.”
The former Indian opener highlighted Pandya’s consistent ability to deliver excellent performances against Pakistan.
“You can troll him as much as you want, but whenever he plays against Pakistan, whether it was the 2017 Champions Trophy, the 2022 T20 World Cup, the last Asia Cup, or this match, whenever there is pressure and the Indian team is struggling, he is the guy. He comes and scores runs.” Chopra added.
