India captain Hardik Pandya lavished praise on the youngster and said that he played some fantastic shots during his knock.
“Oh, he (Harry Tector) played some fantastic shots. And obviously, he’s 22. I have given him a bat as well. So maybe he can score some more sixes and maybe get an IPL contract,” Hardik told the press.
“And I wish him luck and, you know, just look after him. Give him the right guidance. It’s not always about cricket. It’s about understanding your own lifestyle and understanding what is at stake. If you can manage that, I’m sure he’s going to be around not just in the IPL, but in all the leagues in the world,” said Pandya.
India eventually chased down the target by 7 wickets to go 1-0 in the series.
