Ahmedabad: All-rounder Hardik Pandya has not played in an Indian shirt since the 2021 T20 World Cup, the venue for Team India’s pathetic performance. The general assessment was that Hardick’s failure to bowl on his return after surgery was a setback. The star all-rounder is open about his long absence from the Indian team after leading the Gujarat Titans to victory in the IPL 2022.
‘Most people do not know that I was on my own. There is a misconception that I was left out of the team. Can only be replaced when the player is available. But I was taking a long break. I thank the BCCI for allowing the break and not forcing me to return immediately. That is why I was able to return to my former glory, ”Hardik Pandya said in a video shared by his IPL team Gujarat Titans.
Hardik won the Gujarat Titans title in the 15th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Hardik Pandya, who has not played a single match since the 2021 T20 World Cup, has been in doubt as to whether he will shine in the IPL. No one expected Hardik to bowl. But Hardik Pandya has shown his mettle with all-round excellence in the IPL. Hardick scored 487 runs in the tournament at an average of 44.27 and a strike rate of 131.26. 7.27 He took eight wickets in the economy. He took three wickets for 17 runs and scored 34 off 30 balls against Rajasthan Royals in the final.
Hardik Pandya is gearing up for India’s return with the 15th edition of the IPL. The highlight of the five – match T20 series against South Africa starting on June 9 is Hardik Pandya. Hardick has not been included in the series against New Zealand, West Indies and Sri Lanka since the last T20 World Cup. Cricket experts and fans have confirmed that Hardik will be in the Indian team for this year’s T20 World Cup in Australia.
