India’s all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, has expressed his wish in anticipation of the T20 World Cup match against Pakistan. Even if he never wished to think of the match in terms of ‘fight,’ Pandya seems eager to play against a rival he has defeated many times. Making a comeback in the fifth T20I match on Tuesday, Hardik Pandya is determined to perform well against Pakistan as India, led by Rohit Sharma, takes on Pakistan on Sunday.
Hardik Pandya’s Record Against Pakistan

Hardik Pandaya has faced Pakistan in seven T20 internationals, where bowling is better than his contribution as a batsman. He has a paltry 84 runs to his credit with a best of 40, but a much better bowling record. Hardik Pandya has bowled 11 good wickets in total with a bowl economy rate of 7. 5, a far cry from Marbury’s 3 for 8 in his best show of form.
“To stand in big games is really close to my heart; I always feel special while playing against them. Pakistan is one team where I have been lucky enough to perform well in many games,” Hardik Pandya shared with Star Sports.

Excitement and anticipation

The excitement that is associated with India-Pakistan cricket matches remained the focus of Hardik Pandya, as he said that the self-explanatory series has that extra emotion added to it. He appealed to the fans, asking them to keep waiting, supposing that the game would not be confrontational but revolutionary.
‘It’s all about the feel of it. And now, such a breath. This is that we’re going to pull a request; this is not war; this is going to be history,’ exclaimed Hardik Pandya.
India had a great start to their T20 World Cup campaign and won their match against Ireland comprehensively by eight wickets. On Thursday, Pakistan faced a jolt at the hands of the USA in a Super Over match, which is not so pleasing. This has made the India-Pakistan match more interesting, as both teams have a great reputation for facing each other strongly.

Emphasizing discipline and team unity
A typically good example observed from Hardik Pandya is that discipline and unity are the keys to success for India in any game against Pakistan. He dedicated words of applause to the Indian bowling line-up and went on to emphasize the need for a focused, team-oriented strategy.
“India-Pakistan has forever been extremely energizing, a ton of cheer and buzz, a ton of feeling and a great deal of energy, and yet, I really want to believe that we will be focused in that game. One objective as a team is we go and sort of chase. Thus, on the off chance that we can do that, I figure it will be another decent day for us,” Pandya told the BCCI.
As the exceptionally expected match draws near, Hardik Pandya’s certainty and experience will be critical for India. Fans are enthusiastically anticipating one more exciting section in the celebrated India-Pakistan contention, with Pandya ready to assume a critical part in the result.
