Hardik Pandya is living a dream in international cricket. Following a sabbatical of a few months, the all-rounder made a comeback to the gentlemen’s game with the Indian Premier League 2022. Leading the newly formed franchise Gujarat Titans, Pandya excelled in all departments be it batting, bowling or fielding.
As Gujarat lifted the cup, the all-rounder scored runs at an average of 44.27 and a strike rate of 131.27. He was instrumental with the ball as well by taking eight wickets at an economy rate of 7.28. Pandya is playing extremely well for India. He made a powerful impact as an all-rounder during the India tour of England and Asia Cup 2022.
