It was an impressive return from injury for Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya at the DY Patil T20 Cup as he slammed four towering sixes to score 38 and then followed it up with three wicket to guide Reliance 1 to a 25-run victory. Pandya suffered an acute lower back injury five months ago and underwent a surgery in London, following which he has been rehabilitating at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
Outgoing BCCI chief selector MSK Prasad was in attendence and he sounded quite pleased with how Pandya fared in the encounter.
“All three looked in good shape and it was good to see Hardik steaming in,” Prasad said.
Coming to bat at No.4 for his side Reliance 1 in the DY Patil T20 Cup, Hardik smashed 38 off 25 balls to helped Reliance 1 post 150 for 8.
The fact that will please Indian team management and millions of Hardik Pandya’s fans is that he hit four sixes and four fours in his innings, giving a clear indication that he has not lost any of his timing.
