IPL XI vs PSL XI: A dream match-up

#8 Shahid Afridi vs Hardik Pandya

The ageless sensation Shahid Afridi takes the all-rounder spot in this PSL XI. The maverick all-rounder can still take the game away with a bat, by a ball, and on the field. In fact, in a tournament that was dominated by the youngster, it was Afridi who plucked the catch of the tournament. His leadership skills were handy for Karachi too and had he been fit for the eliminators the fate of Karachi Kings would surely have been different.

The Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya might have had a dip in form in recent times but he is a different player altogether when it comes to IPL. It won't be wrong to say that his place in Team India was secured through IPL and he has been a vital cog in the wheel for Mumbai Indians and their 3 trophy campaigns. Not to forget some absolute blinder of the innings he has played that has guided Mumbai home when even the fans gave up. A decent bowler and brilliant fielder, Pandya gets the all-rounder spot for IPL XI.
