On Sunday, as Indian cricket team once again defeated New Zealand, Hardik Pandya was one of top performers in the fifth ODI encounter in Wellington to clinch the five-match series.

Pandya 45 off 22 balls played a major role in the match after a top order batting collapse and after Rayudu was dismissed for 90, he took the center stage and once again proved his excellence.

Former India skipper Sunil Gavaskar was all praise for the all-rounder as he lauded him for his performance. “Terrific performance, absolutely terrific performance. It never easy. The jet lag can get to you. He is a young man, he has had things that have happened and he just wants to forget it. The best way to forget it is being out on the field. And this is what he does best. Being on the field and playing for the country... that what you want”, said Gavaskar. 

Hardik Pandya who made a comeback to the side following the controversy surrounding his sexist comments on ‘Koffee with Karan’ took the important wickets of Henry Nicholls and Mitchell Santner as New Zealand were bowled out for 243 during the third ODI and that was also praised heavily by Gavaskar.
