Hardik Pandya’s power-hitting display proves he is back to his best

There was a phase in the Indian batting innings just after Rishabh Pant had given his wicket away in the 12th over when it wasn’t exactly clear whether India would get anywhere near 200. On this track that belied pre-game expectations and where the ball didn’t stop on the batsman, India would have been satisfied with a score of that magnitude. It was then Hardik Pandya who stepped up to seize control with a 27-ball 50 and India finished on 196, that proved too much for Bangladesh. Especially after Kuldeep Yadav got turn to bamboozle their batsmen to pick three middle-order wickets, including that of Shakib Al Hasan, for not many.Shivam Dube wasn’t really free-flowing for the majority of his stay. He never did breakfree despite the two sixes near the end that bolstered his strike-rate (1...

Quick Comment: Why Rishabh Pant should continue with his reverse sweep

When he reached close to the dugout after producing another cameo, frustration was clearly written on Rishabh Pant’s helmetless face. He was upset with himself for playing the shot resulted in his dismissal — the reverse sweep. Not the first time Pant was dismissed when trying the shot. Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain was the beneficiary on Saturday after Pant hit the ball to short third-man. Two days ago, another leggie Afghanistan’s Rashid Khan celebrated when Pant’s reverse sweep didn’t come off and he was trapped leg-before wicket. Should Pant continue to play the reverse sweep? Unpredictability is what has made Pant an X-factor at No.3 for the Indian team at the T20 World Cup. But the reverse sweep has become a double edged sword for Pant, especially against the spinners.
