Be patient with Hardik,” Klusener. A game-changer in his hey-days, South African all-rounder Lance Klusener foresees India’s Hardik Pandya closing in on someone like Ben Stokes if the team management can be “patient” with him for the next two years at least. “Among current all-rounders in world cricket, Ben Stokes is right up there. There are a few who have come and gone in recent times as well but certainly, a guy like Pandya, give him a year or two at this level, there is no reason why he can’t be one of the best allrounders out there,” Klusener said.

Osaka roars into Tokyo quarters

Japan’s Naomi Osaka defeated Slovak Dominika Cibulkova 6-2 6-1 to reach the Pan Pacific Open quarterfinals in her first match since her historic US Open triumph. The 20-year-old fired 10 aces in a fearsome display of wham-bam tennis in Tokyo.

Osaka came out firing and ripped a fizzing forehand down the line on the first point, the third seed powering away to close out the first set with a pair of thundering aces. A dazed Cibulkova had no answer to Osaka’s firepower as the world number seven wrapped up a comfortable victory with a ferocious cross-court backhand after just 59 minutes. Earlier, sixth seed Garbine Muguruza was upset by American qualifier Alison Riske 6-1 6-2.
