Shoaib Akhtar aur Hafeez ne Hardik Pandya ko liya nishane par, kaha Abdul Razzaq zyada better all-rounder tha
Cricket ki duniya mein charcha chalu hai, former Pakistan cricketers Shoaib Akhtar aur Mohammad Hafeez, India ke all-rounder Hardik Pandya ke Champions Trophy performance par sawal utha rahe hain. Unka kehna hai ki Abdul Razzaq, Pandya se kaafi better player the.
Akhtar ne Pandya ki bowling par kiye sawal
Shoaib Akhtar ne Hardik Pandya ki bowling ki tareef karte hue kaha ki woh team India ke liye bahut important hain, lekin woh Malcolm Marshall, Waqar Younis, Javagal Srinath ya Brett Lee ke level ke bowler nahi hain. Unhone kaha, “Hardik Pandya koi Malcolm Marshall ya Waqar Younis nahi hai. Javagal Srinath ya Brett Lee nahi hai. It’s just his mindset. You throw him the new ball, he does it. You ask him in to bowl in the middle, he does it.”
Pandya ki hitting bhi ‘aam’ hai, Akhtar ke hisab se
Akhtar ne Pandya ki hitting ko bhi ‘aam’ bataya. Unka kehna hai ki Pakistan team mein is tarah ke hitters toh bohot hua karte the. “Aisi hitting, ye hamari team mein aam thhi,” Akhtar ne kaha.
Hafeez ne Abdul Razzaq ko bataya better all-rounder
Mohammad Hafeez ne bhi Akhtar ki baat ka samarthan kiya. Unhone Abdul Razzaq ka example dete hue kaha ki woh Hardik Pandya ke is version se kaafi better the. “I would agree with him. You take out the details of Abdul Razzaq’s performances. He was a better and bigger performer,” Hafeez ne kaha.
Razzaq ne South Africa ke khilaf khela tha yaadgaar match
Akhtar ne 2010 mein South Africa ke khilaf Razzaq ke 109 runs ki dhamakedaar innings ko yaad kiya. Unhone bataya ki Razzaq ne team ko single-handedly jeet dilai thi. “He was asked to open, played in the middle order and sometimes even lower order. He has done everything,” Akhtar ne kaha.
Hafeez ne bhi Razzaq ki tareef ki
Hafeez ne bhi is match ko yaad karte hue bataya ki Pakistan team haar chuki thi, lekin Razzaq ne akele hi match jeet liya tha. “That was the best match that I have seen. We had lost that game mentally and physically but Razzaq won it alone,” Hafeez ne kaha.
Isse pehle bhi kai baar experts ne Hardik Pandya ke all-rounder role par sawal uthaye hain. Champions Trophy mein unka performance kaafi acha raha tha, lekin Akhtar aur Hafeez ke comments se cricket mein ek nayi charcha chhid gayi hai. Dekhna hoga ki is par kya reactions aate hain.
