The second T20 between India and South Africa will be played in the new stadium of Chandigarh. This is the first time that an international match of the men’s cricket team is going to be held in the new stadium completed in Mullanpur. Team India will be eyeing to maintain its win in Cuttack in Mullanpur. Hardik Pandya, who was the hero of the first victory, will have his sights set on helping India win as well as creating its own unique history.
Hardik Pandya’s style will be different!
It is not that the history that Hardik Pandya is going to create in the second T20 against South Africa has not been done by anyone else before. Before Hardik, 3-4 players have achieved that feat in T20 International. But now when Hardik Pandya will join that list, he will be a little different from the rest.
History that Hardik Pandya can make
Hardik Pandya will write history as soon as he takes 1 wicket in the second T20 against South Africa. If he takes 1 wicket in the second T20, then with that he will take 100 wickets in T20 International. With this, he will become the fourth player to hit 100 sixes and take 100 wickets in T20 International. Although he will be the first pace all-rounder. The three players who have done this before him are Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe, Mohammad Nabi of Afghanistan and Virandeep Singh of Malaysia. All three of them are spin all-rounders.
By taking 1 wicket in the second T20 against South Africa, Hardik Pandya will become the fourth cricketer to score 1000 plus runs and 100 wickets in Men’s T20 International. But he will be the only pace all-rounder among them. Before him, Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh, Mohammad Nabi of Afghanistan and Sikandar Raza of Zimbabwe have achieved this feat. But all three of them are spin all-rounders.
Hardik Pandya played a brilliant and unbeaten half-century in the first T20 against South Africa. And, now he would like to pick up with the bat in the second T20 also from where he left off in Cuttack.
