7:59 is this video - Just one of many examples for folks who think Pandya can't "hit on offside".  @Austin 3:!6

Even in IPL, he got some good shots on the off-side 

 

 

^ the last 6

 

 

 

^ brilliant hitting on the off side 

 

 

Because of SDP's reputation, bowlers are more focused when bowling to him and tend to bowl way outside the off-stump, which would create that impression that he is not able to hit outside off but most batsmen would struggle with that line. Even in the ODI v Aus where Jadeja hit a few 6s, Aus bowlers hardly bowled anything in the slot to SDP (who had to work harder to get the hits in his 92* MoM knock) but were relatively "off" when bowling to Jadeja, who made good use of the balls bowled in the slot

I started rating him as a batsman during that home ODI series vs Aus a couple of years ago. He played a couple of very classy straight drives and cover drives. Proper cricket shots, zero slogging or hacking. 
 

Pandya is many things and he isn’t many things. But he’s no one trick pony with the bat.

Yeah .... the issue is that many folks judged him on wrong parameters as if he was a top order batsman w/ the opportunity to play tons of balls rather than seeing that he is among the cream when batting at #6-7.

I am going to leave Global.baba’s dot foundation and join @zen Cult of Pandya Ashram. Zen baba please accept me in this cult

@zen Be careful accommodating bandwagon panautis  - they can really ruin the vibe of the ashram!

Oh boy, the OZ commentators have become big SDP fans .... More than the practise game, they were talking about SDP - his talent, swagger (WI like), how he has won games even in IPL, and so on .... Australians like such players

Warne called SDP and Rashid Khan as is his 2 fav players right now  I think in one of the games.

Yeah, Warne is a big SDP fan too .... his 3rd and 4th fav could be Stokes & Buttler

Brad Hogg thinks SDP is the most valuable AR in white ball cricket (Australians have gone crazy over SDP):

Anyone notice that Pandya in his interview, said he doesnt like to take games deep?

 

If Dhoni was batting he would have taken the game till the final ball.

[nevada]

Joined! I was a skeptic before this tour but not anymore! Pandya has been amazing this tour. The mental aspect of his game has been too good. Good thing the next IPL is just a few months away. He will polish his skills and get better with off side batrjng at MI training camp. Thanks bambanis!

[T20]

Most inform batsmen of the tour that can comfortably handle Autralian bowlers in Australia, I think he should be included in the Test squad.

Aus has a deeply rooted sports culture. The country does well in a variety of sports .... Melbourne, if I m not wrong, is called the sporting capital of the world
