Hardik Pandya
The 26-year-old all-rounder Hardik Pandya is an asset of the Indian cricket. He plays a very effective role both as a right-handed batsman and right-arm medium-fast bowler. He has already played 105 international matches, where he has scored 1799 runs and also taken 109 wickets.
Hardik’s last recognised cricket match was for the Indian team during the Bengaluru T20I on 22nd September 2019. Then he underwent successful back surgery. After recovering, though he played some local matches and was ready for the international comeback in last March during the home ODI series against South Africa, the coronavirus pandemic has forced him to wait for the longer period.
While the IPL 2020 is going to begin on 19th September 2020, Hardik is set to return to the recognised cricket match after almost a year. He played a crucial role for the Mumbai Indians’ (MI) successful journey in the IPL 2019, where he scored 402 runs and also picked up 14 wickets in 16 matches. His franchise is expecting a similar form from this all-rounder.
