It may be recalled that Pandya had scored a blistering 48 runs off just 27 balls, with three sixes and four boundaries, in the match against Australia.
Former Australian captain Steve Waugh on Tuesday heaped praises on Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya and said that his innings against Australia at The Oval will send shivers down opposition spines. Comparing Pandya with South Africa’s aggressive allrounder Lance Klusener, Waugh said that Pandya has the potential to grab the attention like Klusener did in the 1999 World Cup in England. “It’s Hardik Pandya’s innings that will send shivers down the opposition spines. He has the ability to finish with some clean hitting that no opposing captain can protect,” Waugh wrote in the ICC’s official website.It may be recalled that Pandya had scored a blistering 48 runs off just 27 balls, with three sixes and four boundaries, in the match against Australia and his innings played an important role in helping India post a winning total of 352 runs.
