Ben Stokes Or Hardik Pandya? - Brad Hogg Names The Better All-Rounder

Former Australia spinner Brad Hogg is making the most of his time in quarantine by taking up a Q&A session on Twitter. Indian fans have been sending him heap loads of question to which he responds. Most of the questions revolve around comparison — batsmen, bowlers or all-rounders?

The Q&A comes as a good session in the time of the widespread novel coronavirus, where people have been asked to stay in self-isolation, as a precautionary measure. It has helped both Brad Hogg and people asking him questions bind time.

Brad Hogg picks Ben Stokes ahead of Hardik Pandya

Ben Stokes, England’s World Cup 2019 hero and saviour of the Headingley Test, was rightly picked ahead of Hardik Pandya as the better all-rounder by Brad Hogg. Stokes, has proven his mettle across formats while Hardik, who has shown is potential, is yet to perform consistently for his national team.

In the interactive session, a fan asked, “@Brad_Hogg Who is better as an All-rounder, Hardik Pandya or Ben Stokes??”

“I have to go with the Englishman on this one. Hardik has huge potential, but hasn’t played enough international cricket to challenge Stokes as the all rounder of my world XI,” Brad Hogg replied.

In response, Hogg said, “Hmmm, Babar”.
