From 2nd best bowler in the last test to the best bowler in this test .... Amazing performance by the 5th bowler

[Forever Indian]

Pandya finally showing his full potential. Now needs to maintain the consistency in future as well

[Clarke]

Performances on the pitch & swag off it 

[speedheat]

 5 wickets..  Take that haters!!! 

[rtmohanlal]

so glad to see him well with the ball. Now he should turn it on with the bat by playing aggressively.That's where his real strength lies

[Pollack]

Meanwhile Holding right now :

what a journey for the young cricketer .... unnecessarily hated for his swag, criticized despite performing well relatively .... the guy is one of the most well behaved cricketers on the field and looks to punch above his weight while bringing the never say die spirit to the team 

 

In his short test career, has hit 1 100, along with other 50+ scores, and picked up a 5-fer, along with a couple of 3 wkts hauls .... In terms of bowling, bowled only 10 overs in the first test, was the 2nd best bowler in the 2nd test, and now the best bowler in this test .... in batting, it was good to see him try to play as per the situation, leave balls, take blows on the body, etc. .... he is a constantly improving cricketer atm!

The guy has something in him...

 

I’ve hated him too... I’ve called him all sorts of names... Fido-Dido, Road Romeo, Sadak chhaap...etc...

 

But he does has something in him... yes, he’s not an all rounder... to hell with it. I’m just happy that he’s done well in testing conditions than many of the other losers...

 

[Stradlater]

Well done. Although I still have my reservations about him but that was a display of some fine fast bowling.

I hope he succeed and prove me wrong.

And crucially, he doesn't have to necessarily be a world class allrounder - this Indian team is strong enough to carry him through if he can just be a decent one.  Even that will make the team unit stronger than the sum of its parts.

 

Just imagine - with Ashwin injured, if we didn't have Pandya to bowl, England could have easily re-built with a partnership and the game would be completely different.  The old conventional "4 bowlers are enough" simply doesn't work with just 1 spinner in the team, and zero part-timers.

Glad pandya made his mark on the big stage. No one's laughing at him now.

[Jodonjo]

He swung it both ways......

Impressive....

Especially the broad dismissal!!!!

[express bowling]

The consistency with which  he bowled in the last match ... an improved bowling performance was round the corner.

 

A fifer is a bonus.

 

Well done  !

Can someone post the video clip 

[Turning_track]

Congrats to Pandya. Was being unfairly criticised for non-cricketing reasons.
Swung beautifully today & fab performance in 6 overs which he bowled.

[Ankit_sharma03]

I expected something from him, have always noticed he likes being in game...if he fails at one aspect he ll do something with other

In SA, he made runs.....when he failed with bat.....he took that 2 wkts .....then in one of test fielded brillantly

In odi also in SA he wasnt making runs but was bowling n fielding really really well 

 

With some players u cnt jst take them out of the game, he has fire, attitude and fight in him .........thats why i really like him as a cricketer
