On the evidence of what happened at Old Trafford on Sunday, one can safely say the future of Indian cricket is in safe hands.
Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant have the potential to rule Indian cricket over the next decade or so and there is no doubt that the world will hear much more about them. Of course, there are many talented cricketers like Suryakumar Yadav and Shreyas Iyer who are also making steady progress, but Pandya and Pant could well emerge as superstars, with both also having the capability to lead the Indian team with distinction.
It is not the first time the two have shown what they are capable of doing in adverse situations. Pant has probed his worth many times over and probably the only thing that goes against him is his audacious strokeplay that gets the better of him and he throws his hands away. But with more experience, he will only get better, which was clearly in evidence on Sunday when he got his maiden ODI century to add to his five in Test cricket.
Pandya on the other hand, has had his problems, more so with his fitness which affected his bowling. He has worked hard on both physical as well as mental well-being and that hard work is paying off.
