Hardik Has Rahul's Feat in Sight

The India allrounder would have a shot at going past KL Rahul for the most number of T20I runs for the country. All Hardik needs is 23 runs to go past his dear friend, Rahul. For the unversed, Rahul holds the fourth spot in terms of most T20I runs for India. He has scored 2,265 runs. With the kind of form Hardik is in, one would certainly not put it beyond him. In fact, if Hardik comes good with the bat, it will truly put India in a commanding position in the high-stake encounter. 

Not just with the bat, Hardik contributes in a big way with the ball. In fact, he has emerged as a wicket-taker in this marquee event. Often he has been trusted with the new ball as well.
