Pandya is forever a 19 yr old. Even when he's well past 30 we are talking about him as if he is a young prospect. 

in terms of his maturity, he is only 15-16. so, he is truly a baccha

Pandu is better. Did well with bat in 2019 WC and in wt20 2022. Although Yusuf Pathan would have played more games than he actually got under current set up.

 

Which defining inning he played in WC 2019?

32(65) vs NZ defined the win for NZ.

Old isnt always gold. Pandya is way better, not even close. Yousaf’s bowling would be hit out of the attack every single time in this era.

Sir Don Pandya is unique among Indian cricketers with his ability to bat almost anywhere in the batting lineup and bowl at pace. As a package, he is right up there with  India's greatest cricketers.

 

Add to that that he is Ind's best clutch player (probably can add GG). Talking about just the big games:

• 2017 CT F - scored a 70-80 when others failed 
• 2019 ODI SF - steadied the ship after Ind was 5/3 and then 24/4
• 2022 T20 WC SF - again scored a 60 odd when others crumbled under pressure 

 

Talking about him as an AR, he has tons of performances where he has scored 30+ runs & picked up 3 or more wickets. I have not followed cricket lately but even in the current series in WI, he hit a 70* in the ODI decider. And today in a T20 game where Ind has to win to keep the series alive, he hit a 24 and already picked up 2 wickets in the first over. 

 

 

Easy pick!
