India's star all-rounder Hardik Pandya unleashed his batting prowess by smashing a colossal six off Michael Bracewell in the 12th match of the Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The powerful hit sent the ball soaring into the stands, leaving the crowd in awe and providing India with much-needed momentum.

Hardik Pandya, who has been playing a crucial role in stabilizing India's innings, scored a quickfire 22 runs off 27 balls. His partnership with Ravindra Jadeja helped India recover after a series of early wickets had put them on the back foot.

Hardik Pandya In His Element Smashes A Massive Six

The massive six came in the 41st over of India's innings. Michael Bracewell, bowling a full-length delivery outside off, was met with sheer aggression by Pandya. The Indian all-rounder, known for his explosive batting, got down low and connected perfectly with the ball, launching it 96 meters deep into the mid-wicket stands. 

The shot, struck with authority from the sweet spot of the bat, was a testament to Pandya's raw power and timing.

India Regains Momentum After Early Loss

India, who were struggling at 182-6 after 39.1 overs, managed to reach 223-7 in 46 overs at the time of writing. Shreyas Iyer's well-crafted 79 off 98 balls and Axar Patel's handy 42 off 61 deliveries were instrumental in India's recovery. 

New Zealand's bowlers, led by Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson, kept the pressure on, but Pandya's frequent blows provided a much-needed boost to India's scoring rate as they are looking to post a competitive total.
