Asia Cup 2022: Mohammed Amir’s reply to Hardik Pandya’s ‘comeback greater than setback’ tweet goes viral

Following his side’s thrilling five-wicket win over Pakistan in their Asia Cup 2022, star Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya took to social media to express his joy at his resurgence in international cricket this year, during which he also led Men in Blue to a fighting win over their Asian arch-rivals.

The crucial partnership between Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya helped India defeat arch-rivals Pakistan in a thrilling clash by five wickets in the second match of the Asia Cup 2022 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Pandya not only scored the winning runs but also took three crucial wickets against Pakistan. Such was his impact that even former Pakistan cricketers – Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Afridi, praised the 28-year-old all-rounder for putting up a brilliant show and rescuing India from a tricky situation.

Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir was the latest to join the bandwagon as he applauded Pandya and replied, “Well played brother” to the Indian star’s tweet which read, “The comeback is greater than the setback”.

The post by Pandya featured a picture showing two different eras of his career. At the top is the star all-rounder laying on a stretcher during his outing against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2018. Below it is Pandya in 2022, raising his bat after finishing the match against Pakistan with a six.
