Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden heaped praise on India all-rounder Hardik Pandya for his superb knock against Pakistan. One of the major concerns for captain Rohit and head coach Rahul heading to the Asia Cup was the middle-order. It was an important knock for Hardik's perspective as the T20I captain had a disappointing West Indies tour in the led-up to the Asia Cup. He made sure Ishan Kishan was at ease at the other end. Rohit Sharma couldn't but Hardik Pandya did," the legendary Australia opener said in the mid-innings show on Star Sports.
