Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya was recently in conversation with eminent commentator Harsha Bhogle. The two discussed many things about his game, but to the surprise of many, Pandya discussed a hidden facet of his career.

Pandya revealed that he used to bowl leg-spin till 2013 in nets for Baroda team and had even perfected champion leg-spinner Shane Warne's flipper delivery as well.

"Had my best years under his captaincy," Hardik Pandya extols Rohit Sharma's leadership

Hardik also said that he had once told the same thing to MS Dhoni and the former Indian skipper then replied in his usual wit that, thank god Pandya stopped bowling leggies, else he wouldn’t have played for India then. Pandya claimed in the video that he picked 30 wickets in a season bowling leg-spin

Bhogle even said that he will send this video clip to Shane Warne and get his feedback as well.
