Hardik Pandya Shines with ‘No Look Shot’ in T20 Win Against Bangladesh

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.
