Pandya on Axar Patel's catch vs Ireland
Hardik hailed Axar Patel for taking the nearly impossible catch in New York. The all-rounder said that you need hand-eye coordination to pick these types of catches.
“Always special to play for the country, always good to play for pride. I have been able to contribute in the World Cups, god has been kind. That was an outstanding effort by Axar, those are the catches when you let your hand-eye co-ordination let in. I really liked the first wicket, don't hit the stumps often as I usually bowl short of a length. I needed to be fuller than back of a length today. On this kind of surface you need to be disciplined and hit the right areas. It's always fantastic to see the crowd, we Indians are everywhere, we rule the world, good to have their support” said Hardik to broadcasters after the first inning.
