In a recent interview, Abdul Razzaq spoke about Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya. He said that the latter is a good player but he needs to work hard.
“Pandya is a good player but he can be a much better all-rounder. It is all about hard work. When you don’t give enough time to the game, it drifts away from you,” Razzaq said.
“He has to prepare better mentally as well as physically. As you have seen, he has been getting injured a lot of late (underwent back surgery last year). When you earn a lot of money, you tend to relax,” Razzaq said.
Pandya missed the latter of 2019 because of injury.
“Mohammad Amir did not work hard enough and his performance dipped,” he added.
Razzaq said that Hardik is nowhere near Kapil Dev and Imran Khan.
“Kapil Dev and Imran Khan are the best all-rounders of all time. Hardik is nowhere near that league. Even I was an all-rounder but it doesn’t mean that I would compare myself with Imran bhai.”
“Kapil paaji and Imran bhai were in a different league”, he concluded.
