Hardik Pandya surpasses Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli to become the most stylish finisher in T20 International cricket.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni was renowned as a match finisher in the Indian cricket team. Currently, Virat Kohli is also popular for his finishing abilities. However, Hardik Pandya has now emerged as the most stylish finisher. He has led the Indian team to victory by hitting sixes more times than anyone else in T20 International cricket, surpassing the records of both Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
At present, Hardik Pandya is the premier match finisher and all-rounder in white-ball cricket. He showcased his outstanding performance in the T20 World Cup 2024 and continues to shine with both bat and ball in the IPL. Now, he has also established himself as the most stylish match finisher in the Indian T20 International cricket team.
Previously, Mahendra Singh Dhoni was famous for finishing matches with sixes, but King Kohli had surpassed him. Kohli led the Indian team to victory with a six in T20 Internationals four times, while Dhoni achieved the feat three times. Now, Hardik Pandya leads the pack, having accomplished this feat five times. In fourth place is Rishabh Pant, who has equalled Dhoni by finishing T20I matches with a six three times.
Hardik Pandya ‘No Look Shot’ Against Bangladesh
Hardik Pandya finished the match with a six at the New Madhav Rao Scindia Cricket Stadium in Gwalior against Bangladesh. It would not be an exaggeration to call this exceptional all-rounder a stylish finisher. Pandya played several excellent shots in this match, including an uppercut that he hit almost without looking, sending the ball for four. As soon as Hardik saw the ball coming around his shoulder, he instinctively sent the fast-moving delivery behind the wicket, without even glancing back.
