Hardik Pandya's career started questioned after the T20 World Cup 2021. Hardik then played for Team India as a batsman and could not perform much. The question was starting to arise whether all-rounder Hardik is needed by Team India as a batsman or not? But Hardik did not give up, he has made a tremendous comeback and has once again explained why he is counted among the best all-rounders of the present time. Former New Zealand player Scott Styris has told how Hardik's return has hurt Shardul Thakur.

 

Scott Styris on Sports 18's show 'Sports Over the Top' said, 'The one advantage that Shardul Thakur has is that he can bat and he has also played match-winning innings for India in Test cricket. But does he have the ability to score boundaries or finish the match or take the team to the big target? If you talk about his advantage, here Hardik Pandya's return has hurt him. Hardik Pandya has made a tremendous comeback as an all-rounder. Do you need two similar players on the team?'

 

Styris further said, 'Because when it comes to Shardul Thakur, he is not as great a player as Hardik Pandya. I don't think he is an all-rounder. So I think he is fighting for a backup spot in the team and not to cement his place in the team.
