Laxman: Pandya is a fabulous leader

V.V.S. Laxman, who has stepped in for Rahul Dravid as the head coach for India’s white-ball tour of New Zealand, heaped huge praise on stand-in captain Hardik Pandya, calling him ‘a fabulous leader’ whose ‘work ethics are exemplary’.

“He’s a fabulous leader. We’ve seen what he has done at Gujarat in the IPL. But I have spent time with him from the Ireland series. He is not only tactically good but he’s also very calm on the field,” he said.
