IPL 2019 | Legends and Pundits react to Hardik Pandya : The Andre Russell without muscles
It was a picture-perfect display of clean hitting at the Eden Gardens as Hardik Pandya and Andre Russell went on a rampage on either end. However, Hardik Pandya's efforts went in vain as Mumbai Indians couldn't chase down the huge target of 233. This is how cricket legends reacted to it.
The complete all-rounder!
Hardik Pandya completed 2000 runs and 100 wickets in the Twenty20 format today. 2nd Indian with this double after Ravindra Jadeja. #IPL2019 #KKRvMI

Hopefully, he takes this form to the World Cup!
#MI's Hardik Pandya's 91 in 34 balls (S/r 267.64) is now the fastest individual ninety (ie scores from 90 to 99) in #IPL cricket.#KKRvMI

Betters the previous quickest by Glenn Maxwell - 90 in 38 balls (S/r 236.84) for #KXIP vs CSK at Cuttack in 2014#IPL2019
That's one way to say it!
So Hardik Pandya is basically Andre Russell without the muscle.#KingsOfSixes

Trust is a powerful thing!
I’ve said it before, these West Indian players like Russell, Pollard, Bravo are better than being last 5 overs batsmen. They just need to be trusted, and to trust themselves. Kudos to @KKRiders for giving Dre Riss the opportunity tonight.

It is always a joy to watch Pandya because of this!
As breathtaking as @hardikpandya7’s 6-hitting is the 360 angle range of his strokeplay

Some say it is as good as Russell's power-hitting this season!
There has been some big hitting in this #IPL. But Hardik is taking it to another level

The real victims are the bowlers!
Andre and Hardik....some stellar hitting. Spare a thought for the bowlers. This game is evolving into something really intimidating avatar. Nights like these make bowlers irrelevant. #IPL
