The atmosphere has heated up ahead of the high-voltage match between India and Pakistan in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on 15 February. The Indian player who is being talked about the most before this big match is Team India’s star all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Recently, his brilliant performance against Namibia has increased the tension in the Pakistan camp.
Showed strength with both bat and ball against Namibia
In the match played against Namibia, Hardik Pandya worked to handle Team India in difficult circumstances. When the middle order seemed to be under pressure, he played a quick inning of 52 runs in just 28 balls. During this, 4 fours and 4 sixes came from his bat. Not only this, in bowling also, he played a big role in the team’s victory by taking important wickets and won the Player of the Match award.
Former captain of Pakistan also praised
Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik also praised the Indian team’s strategy and Hardik’s game during a discussion. He said that after the pitch slowed down, the Indian batsmen adapted themselves to the conditions and took the innings forward by rotating the strike. Malik also believed that Pakistan all-rounders need to learn from the Indian players how to handle the match in pressure situations.
‘There is no all-rounder like Hardik in the world’
Meanwhile, another expert present in the panel has described Hardik Pandya as above any other player. He said that Hardik is such an all-rounder who looks like an expert batsman while batting and a main bowler while bowling. According to him, it is difficult to find a balanced all-rounder like Hardik, not only in Pakistan but also in the world.
Match winner can be made on 15th February
Now when India and Pakistan will face each other on February 15, Hardik Pandya’s performance is going to be very important. He is a player who can change the course of a match with both bat and ball. His form in the last few matches is a relief news for Team India.
While the Pakistan team will make a strategy to get the Indian top order out early, players like Hardik can prove to be a game changer by coming into the middle order. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see whether Hardik can once again lead Team India to victory with his all-round performance in this big match or not.
