India’s Hardik Pandya and England’s Ben Stokes have emerged as the largest match winners for his or her respective sides within the shortest format of the sport. Comparisons between the 2 have been prevalent since Pandya’s batting bought extra top after the IPL win, the Asia Cup and the tour of England.
Former South Africa all-rounder Lance Klusener stated that Hardik Pandya’s batting is enhancing recreation by recreation however has not peaked but and remains to be not a whole product. Stating that Stokes is a extra full participant than Pandya, the present Zimbabwe coach stated that Pandya is studying on a regular basis.
“I think Stokes is a little more complete than a guy like Pandya. But he is learning all the time. The progress that Pandya has made in international cricket in the last two-three years has been phenomenal. I don’t think so. He is a completely finished product as of now. The sooner he gets to that (stage) where he is completing all his overs all the time, I think we can definitely see him in the same bracket as all the great all-rounders He’s there, but not on top yet,” Klusener was quoted as saying by HT.
Nevertheless, former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif feels that Pandya wants to enhance his recreation earlier than evaluating him to the World Cup-winning England cricketer.
“I am not referring to today’s game, but Ben Stokes has a proven record. He won Test matches for England and the World Cup as well,” Rashid Latif stated on his YouTube channel.
“Stokes is way ahead of Hardik in terms of international trophies,” he added.
“So, I do not suppose you may even examine with regards to (efficiency) on the bottom. Because a trophy is a trophy. Ben Stokes is method forward of Hardik on this. Having stated that, sure, a few of Hardik’s innings have been higher than Ben Stokes, however higher innings and being higher than Stokes are two utterly various things.
