South African pace great Dale Steyn has described Hardik Pandya as a superhero who “operates at another level mentally” with an unmatched aura, after the flamboyant India all-rounder’s scintillating knock in the fifth T20I.
Pandya (63) hit the second fastest T20I fifty for India, while Tilak Varma produced a fluent 73 to set up the hosts’ 30-run victory after they posted an imposing 232-run target for the Proteas here on Friday.
“Hardik was fantastic he’s transcended sportsman into celebrity territory, walking out like a superhero in a scripted movie plot where nobody alters his plan,” said Steyn on JioStar.
He added, “It’s not a bad attitude; it’s pure dominance, an aura where nobody else can match what he does. You see it in his stance and presence he’s operating at another level mentally, unbreakable in a game that’s all about mental battles. All these players are skilled, but he’s elevated beyond.”
