Hardik hasn’t played any international game since the T20 World Cup last year. He was a flop in the T20 World Cup and he didn’t even ball, which adds to further misery. If he needs to make a comeback in the Indian squad, then he really needs to buckle up. He needs to step up his game in both departments.
Hardik Pandya in the T20 World Cup 2021Pandya was also unavailable for his selection in the Vijay Hazare Trophy as he underwent rehabilitation in Mumbai. But his brother, Krunal Pandya will feature in Baroda’s Ranji team.
