Both shots were identical for numerous reasons; both had supreme timing and the power came from a solid base from both hitters.
Hardik Pandya played a similar shot during the third T20I against Bangladesh as Virat Kohli played against Corey Anderson in IPL 2017. Both shots had amazing power and although it didn’t seem like it at first, both traveled over the ropes to hit the maximum .
Tanzim Hasan Sakib attempted a yorker but ended up bowling full and inside the groove, and Hardik sank deep into his crease and whipped it over deep extra cover for the maximum. He didn’t really try to overdo it; Hardik simply guided the ball in his direction, but the amount of power he had made the ball fly.
Similarly, Corey Anderson bowled a slot delivery and Kohli stepped forward and used his wrists to guide it over the covers region. Although he didn’t use any significant power in his shot, the timing was impeccable and the willow contact was as sweet as it could get.
Both shots were identical for numerous reasons; both had supreme timing and the power came from a solid base from both hitters. The shot was as clean as possible and like Kohli’s shot, Hardik’s shot too will be remembered for a long time.
