‘He Knows What he Needs to do, Doesn’t Need to be Told by Coaches’ -Glenn McGrath High Praise for Hardik Pandya

Written by Mohan Sharma

Australian legend Glenn McGrath feels that Hardik Pandya has amassed enough experience under his belt to get back to his best with the ball rather than being told by various coaches what he needs to do.

Pandya who recently returned to the game after back surgery has been named as the skipper for the team to tour Ireland in a two-match T20 series.

“Hardik has got so much experience now. He knows what he needs to do. He doesn’t need to be told by coaches what he needs to do. He is a quality all-rounder, quality hitter,” McGrath, who is Director of Coaching at the famed MRF Pace Foundation, told reporters as quoted by PTI.

“Some games go well, others don’t as well. Overall, he knows what he needs to do,” he added.

McGrath, who is regarded as one of the finest bowlers of the game in terms of bowling consistency and discipline shared his thoughts on what it means to be a good seamer.

“A lot of coaches think that bowling quick is the important thing. to just run and bowl as quick as you can is not the be-all and end-all. Holding your action, bowling good areas, building pressure, taking wickets,” he said.
