India vs Australia: Hardik Pandya finishes the match with 6: After a series of unimpressive knocks and failing to finish off the games, India all-rounder Hardik Pandya finally managed to finish a match in the trademark style with a Six. With six required off 14 balls against Australia in the second warm-up game in Dubai, Hardik Pandya swung his bat through the line to finish off in style hitting a Six over the bowler’s head. And, some of its credit goes to India’s T20 WC mentor MS Dhoni. For more T20 World Cup Live Updates follow us at InsideSport.in.

The concerns over Pandya’s batting as well as bowling have been the talking point for so long now. The stylish all-rounder has looked completely off-color in both the phases of IPL 2021 – be it in India or UAE. He also struggled a bit against England in the first warmup game, managing 12 off 10 deliveries.
However, he looked completely confident and back to his initial days, scoring 14 off 8 at a strike rate of 174. And, the secret behind it can be a little chat with his mentor-cum brother MS Dhoni.

“MS was someone who understood me from the start: how I function, what kind of a person I am, what are the things I don’t like, everything. “He knows what kind of an individual I am. He knows me quite deep. I am very close to him. He is the only person who can make me calm. I never saw him as MS Dhoni the greatest. For me, Mahi is my brother. I respect and admire the fact that he was there when I needed him the most,” Hardik Pandya told ESPNCricinfo.
The all-rounder also stated that MS Dhoni is a life coach for him. “Staying with him, obviously, you learn to be mature, you learn to become humble. I have learned a lot by watching him. He never loses his cool,” he added.
