Hardik Pandya’s inclusion in Baroda for this year’s Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) has done a world of good for them. Led by Krunal Pandya, the Gujarat-based team has been in phenomenal form and stands on the verge of qualiying for playoffs. They face Sikkim on December 5, and fans saw records tumble left, right, and centre. Despite Hardik Pandya not playing, Baroda smashed 180 runs within 10 overs. Shashwat Rawat hammered 43 off 16, while Abhimanyusingh Rajput clubbed 53 off just 17 balls. Bhanu Pania did something remarkable, clubbing 100 in just 42 balls. Incredibly, Baroda ended with something outlandish as they hammered 349 – the highest ever T20 score.
