The mercurial all-rounder made his debut as a 22-year old in 2016. He has since developed into one of the finest fast bowling all-rounders in the country and has even drawn comparisons with the legendary Kapil Dev. Pandya has become an integral component in the side and gives captain Kohli the freedom to pick an extra bowler or a batsman, a luxury they haven’t had for years.

Pandya has had many individual moments of brilliance besides carrying himself with flair, a trait that has made him popular among the young Indian population. Brands have signed him to capitalize on his popularity and the all-rounder fetches 14 crores from Advertisements alone. More than quadruple of his contracted pay of 3 crores.

Archie is a WWE and UFC Editor/Author at the SportsRush. Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
