Asia Cup 2022 India vs Pakistan- Hardik Pandya: These are just a few of the accolades for Team India's star all-rounder Hardik Pandya after the India-Pakistan match as part of the Asia Cup-2022! Hardik played a key role in the victory against the arch-rival in the crucial battle.

All round performance…

He played his part as a bowler in pacifying Pakistan. Bowling for four overs, he gave only 25 runs and took three wickets. Opener Mohammad Rizwan (43 runs), who became a hard nut to crack for the Indian bowlers despite falling wickets, sent him to the pavilion with a wonderful ball.

Similarly, Iftikhar Ahmed (28) was dismissed when he was looking dangerous. He also sent Khushdil to the pavilion for just two runs. Thus, he contributed his part in bowling out Pakistan for 147 runs.

Hardik, along with another all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, improved Team India's innings when India was struggling to chase the target. Hardik Pandya, who came to the crease at the beginning of the 15th over after Suryakumar Yadav was out, ended the over with a four in his own style. After that, he took singles whenever he got a chance while playing without falling a wicket.

And after Jadeja got out on the first ball of the last over... the winning equation was six runs off four balls, and he hit the sixer bringing the victory to the team. He got the player of the match award for his all-around talent. Hardik Pandya answered those who criticised him personally during last year's World Cup-2021 with this match!
