In the third T20I match between the West Indies and Guyana, Hardik Pandya was heavily criticized for denying Tilak Varma a well-deserving half-century. Notably, the 20-year-old was on 49* when the all-rounder decided to take matters into his own hands and blasted a six to put the game to bed in grand fashion. As a result of being reminded of MS Dhoni’s prior gesture toward Virat Kohli, Pandya was immediately the target of harsh criticism.
Aakash Chopra, a former cricketer for India, defended Pandya when speaking about the subject, saying that because T20 cricket doesn’t really focus on milestones, it shouldn’t even be taken into consideration. Even if MS Dhoni is Hardik’s idol, he continued by saying that it is not necessary for him to always choose the same course.
It’s an intriguing story. Hardik Pandya has endured a lot of trolling and criticism.
Another school of thought, however, questions the relevance of discussing T20 cricket milestones. Thus, that came up fairly in the middle of the conversation, according to Chopra’s YouTube channel.
Because Virat Kohli was at the opposite end, I recall MS Dhoni once playing a defensive forward shot. He didn’t want to be the center of attention, so he asked him to complete it. Even though Hardik holds MS Dhoni in high regard, he need not emulate him.
Tilak Varma’s foreign career has gotten off to a fantastic start, according to Aakash Chopra.
In the current T20I series versus West Indies, Tilak Varma has been nothing short of fantastic. The batsman from Hyderabad has scored 139 runs in his first three games, making him the T20I series’ top run-scorer at the moment. Chopra is really pleased by the batsman because he also made history by being the first player from India to score three times in excess of thirty runs in his first three national team games.
“Tilak Varma, superb. He was the first Indian to record 30+ runs in his opening three international innings. In his prior games, he had scored fifty points, and this time, he came close to doing so; in fact, fifty points should have been scored. His attitude is terrific, his range is good, and after first acting aggressively, he was content to take a backseat to Suryakumar, according to Chopra.
