Amazing achievement coming up! But I'm surprised Arshdeep reached 100 wickets first despite being relatively new. Shows how much our bowling attack has evolved.

Hardik's comeback after injury has been phenomenal. From being written off to becoming India's most valuable player across formats. True champion mentality! 💪

Rashid Khan's numbers are just insane though - 173 wickets at 13.93 average! That puts everything in perspective. But proud of Hardik's journey.

While I appreciate Hardik's contribution, his bowling average of 26+ is a bit concerning compared to other top bowlers. Hope he improves this aspect for the World Cup.

The fact that he's taken 97 wickets while being a proper batsman shows his incredible utility. Can't wait to see him in blue jersey achieving this milestone! 🔥
