Rashid – an out-and-out match-winner, no one can debate that, Shubman – a brilliant young talent – Hardik Pandya
Speaking to Boria Majumdar on his show “Auction Reels”, Pandya said he couldn’t have asked for better retentionship players than Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill. He said that Rashid Khan is a match-winner and Shubman Gill is a brilliant young talent. He asserted:
“They’ve been tremendous. To be honest, I can’t ask for better retentionship players than them (sic). Rashid – an out-and-out match-winner, no one can debate that. Shubman – a brilliant young talent… For his age, he’s very strong-minded and he can offer a lot to us in the coming future as well. So for me, I am genuinely very, very happy with those two guys because as I said [they are] match-winners at any given day and tremendous team players as well.”
The all-rounder Hardik further added that he loves to play with the players who play for the team and keep the team ahead of themselves. He elaborated:
“For me, I love someone who plays for the team and who always keeps the team ahead because I have been that kind of a cricketer. When I get those kinds of qualities… when I’ll give them the roles knowing that they are such amazing team players, it’s kind of amazing.”
