Cricket news – january 11, 2026: India’s all‑rounder Hardik Pandya is on the verge of entering a very elite group of One Day international (ODI) cricketers who have achieved the rare double of 2,000 runs and 100 wickets in their careers.

Pandya, who has been a key player for india in limited overs cricket, needs 96 more runs and 9 more wickets to reach these milestones during the upcoming India vs new zealand ODI series.

If he accomplishes this rare double, he will join a distinguished list of legendary players, including:

  • Sachin Tendulkar
  • Viv Richards
  • Sanath Jayasuriya
  • Jacques Kallis
  • Yuvraj Singh
  • Kapil Dev
  • Ravi Shastri
  • Ravindra Jadeja
    among others who have excelled with both bat and ball in ODIs.
This achievement highlights Pandya’s importance as a genuine all‑rounder — a player capable of contributing significantly in both batting and bowling departments — and would place him alongside some of the greatest cricketing all‑rounders in the history of the game.
