NEW DELHI Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya played a key role in India’s victory in the first T20I against Bangladesh in Gwalior. Pandya remained unbeaten, scoring 39 runs off 16 balls. He also bowled his quota of four overs, returning figures of 1/26.
Former India fast bowler RP Singh, however, advised not to judge Pandya’s form based solely on this match. "Using a performance against Bangladesh to judge a player's form is not right," Singh said in his role as an expert for Jio Cinema and Sports 18. He pointed out that Bangladesh is not currently playing at their best.
