Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya looked impressive with the ball in his side's IPL 2024 clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Wankhede Stadium. 

After dismissing Nitish Reddy with a sharp bouncer, Pandya returned to get the prized scalp of Shahbaz Ahmed when the batter was forming a consolidating stand with Marco Jansen.

The incident occurred in the 16th over of SRH's innings when they were tottering at 120 for five. Pandya's decision to brought himself back worked wonders for the hosts, with the skipper getting Shahbaz on his first delivery. 

It was a full length delivery around the middle stump as Shahbaz flicked it in the air in pursuit of a boundary.

However, the ball went high up in the air, with Suryakumar Yadav completing a spectacular running catch in the deep. 

After the all-rounder dismissed the southpaw, ex-captain Rohit Sharma congratulated him by giving a pat on his back.

If this wasn't enough, Hardik castled Marco Jansen with a terrific length delivery, wreaking havoc in the visitors' camp. 

Despite having Pat Cummins at one end, the SRH batters are returning to the dugout at a rapid rate.
