Hardik Pandya is a really bad footballer. He too needs to improve his football skills.” “Rohit Sharma is a horrible soccer player. He just passes the ball and then doesn't move. He is always standing in an off-side position. Zaheer Khan is also like Rohit, barely wants to run on the football ground.
