Hardik Pandya scored a total of 210 runs in three ODIs, including a 90 in the first ODI and a match-winning knock of 92* in the last ODI.
Sanjay Manjrekar took to Twitter to admit to his change of heart.
The cricketer-turned-commentator had invited controversy through his remarks earlier this week that he would not have Pandya in the ideal Indian ODI side. He singled out Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya as players who don’t walk into the team based on one discipline.
Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja put together a match-winning 150-run partnership for India
After electing to bat first in the third ODI, it looked like India would be restricted to a sub-par total when captain Virat Kohli was dismissed in the 32nd over with the scorecard reading 152/5.
Ravindra Jadeja joined Hardik Pandya at the crease and both of them combined to add 150 runs from just 108 balls. Pandya scored 92 off 76 while his partner Jadeja made 66 off 50 deliveries.
This partnership proved to be crucial in the end as India defeated Australia by just 13 runs to win the third ODI.
