Irfan Pathan's anger on Hardik Pandya

Irfan Pathan raised questions on Hardik Pandya's performance during a Star Sports program. He said that Pandya has not been successful in leaving his mark at the international level. In such a situation, the Indian team management does not need to give him much attention. Irfan said,

“What do I think about Hardik Pandya, Indian cricket should make it clear. They should not be given the amount of attention they have been given because we have not won the World Cup yet. If you (Hardik) think that you are a leading all-rounder, you have to make an impact at the international level.”

“As far as the all-rounder position is concerned, he (Hardik) has not made an impact at the international level. We are just thinking about the possibilities. We are getting confused between the performance in IPL and the performance at the international level. There is a big difference.”
