Allrounder Hardik Pandya, who has been named in the India squad for the three-match T20 series in Australia, feels he can be the “perfect No.7” that India are looking for in the shortest format of the game.

“I am definitely eyeing the all-rounder’s position in the team. With my decent pace and batting abilities, I can be the perfect No.7 that India are looking for. That is the reason why I insisted on becoming an all-rounder, rather than a batsman who can bowl a bit,” Pandya was quoted as saying on bcci.tv.

The 22-year-old Baroda cricketer said it was IPL that changed his life. “Before the IPL no one knew who Hardik Pandya was. I said after the final that IPL will change my life, and it has. Why I give a lot of credit to IPL is because its concept is simply amazing for young Indian players. It is not every day that you meet Sachin Tendulkar or Virender Sehwag. “If it wasn’t for the IPL, I would never have met Ricky Ponting, let alone have this wonderful relationship with him,” he added.
