Ranchi: He believes that his game thrives well in pressure situations and Hardik Pandya does not have to look too far as he has both Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Virat Kohli for "inspiration."


"There's a lot to learn when both (Kohli and Dhoni) of them bat. Their batting, running between wickets inspire us. It's at another level. It's fun to watch them bat together," Pandya paid glowing tributes to his seniors.


A 151-run match-winning partnership between Dhoni (80) and Kohli (154 not out) set up their seven-wicket win in Mohali as India will look to seal the issue in the five-match rubber here today.

Dhoni looks to have regained his destructive form after promoting him to number four and Pandya said it's exciting time for Team India.

"It shows positive intent. I enjoyed his (Dhoni) batting. As batsman, whatever number I bat at, we should play according to situation. It's a job for everyone. It gives us confidence for someone who bats lower down the order. It's pretty good."

Meanwhile, Tom Latham, New Zealand's best batsman on the tour of India with five half centuries, said he will look to take a cue from Kohli's batting.

"You need those big hundreds if you want to win. Look at Virat (Kohli) the other night. He got into a position and he won the game (for India). Obviously it's nice that I am putting myself in that situation. Hopefully, I am able to put up a big score," said Latham.

Even as they struggle to win games here, Latham said they're looking forward to that 'perfect show'.

"We know we haven't put our best foot forward in a few games now. Everyone is trying hard to put that perfect performance," he said.
