Pakistan’s Abdul Razzaq offers to coach Hardik Pandya

Abdul Razzaq, one of the best all-rounders of his generation, said he sees a lot of potential in Hardik Pandya but that there are weaknesses in his game that need to be creased out.

Hardik Pandya’s send-off to Sunil Ambris after taking his wicket was one of the big talking points of his show in India’s match against West Indies in Manchester on Thursday, but former Pakistan great Abdul Razzaq saw something more than that in his performance.

So today I have been closely observing Hardik pandya and I feel like I see a lot of faults in his body’s balance when hitting the bowl hardly and I observed his footwork aswell and I see that also let’s him down sometimes and I feel like if I give him Coaching in for example UAE

“I can make him one of the best all-rounders, if not the best. If BCCI wants to make him a better all rounder I will always be available,” he added.
