's Hardik Pandya's 91 in 34 balls (S/r 267.64) is now the fastest individual ninety (ie scores from 90 to 99) in cricket.

Betters the previous quickest by Glenn Maxwell - 90 in 38 balls (S/r 236.84) for vs CSK at Cuttack in 2014

So Hardik Pandya is basically Andre Russell without the muscle.

I’ve said it before, these West Indian players like Russell, Pollard, Bravo are better than being last 5 overs batsmen. They just need to be trusted, and to trust themselves. Kudos to for giving Dre Riss the opportunity tonight.

As breathtaking as ’s 6-hitting is the 360 angle range of his strokeplay

There has been some big hitting in this . But Hardik is taking it to another level

— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha)

Andre and Hardik....some stellar hitting. Spare a thought for the bowlers. This game is evolving into something really intimidating avatar. Nights like these make bowlers irrelevant.
