Indian head coach Anil Kumble has admitted that they have given full freedom to Hardik Pandya, who grabbed the limelight with figures of three for 31 in his ODI debut against New Zealand, to perform at his absolute best. He is someone who likes the freedom and that is exactly what we have given to Hardik. The 47-year-old former leggie further said that pressure usually doesn't bring out the best of the players. So, even with his batting, he (Pandya) has all the freedom, doesn't really matter what the situation is. So that certainly gives him an additional advantage of knowing exactly what to do in different situations," Kumble stressed.
