Reacting to Team India all-rounder Hardik Pandya's 53-run knock against England in the fourth T20I, ex-India cricketer Mohammad Kaif opined that the 31-year-old cricketer silenced everyone. "[Pandya] deserves captaincy...[he is] India's most valuable white-ball player, genuine finisher and World Cup hero, and [He isn't] getting impacted by stadium abuse," Kaif added. India won the game by 15 runs.
