The allrounder Hardik has the ability to snatch wickets at the most crucial hour, whereas he is quick to take risks and hitting the ball across the boundary. In the match against Pakistan, like other players, Hardik went with 26 runs off 19 balls. Along with the two fours and a six, Hardik took two wickets at an economical rate of approximately five runs in an over.
