Team India cricketer Hardik Pandya has been in terrific form since his comeback to the team this year. He performed exceedingly well in the Indian Premier League 2022 season leading the Gujarat Titans, which earned him a comeback to the Indian team. So far, Hardik has excelled in both the batting and the bowling departments for India in white-ball cricket.
On Sunday, the Indian cricketer’s all-round brilliance was on display against Pakistan in the 2022 Asia Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Team. Bowling first, he took 3/25 in his four overs, picking up crucial wickets. Hardik Pandya followed it up with a match-winning 33-run knock to seal the deal for India by five wickets. He smacked a six in the final over to get the team over the line.
Post India’s win, Hardik Pandya took to Twitter to share a special post on his match-winning performance. He recalled his journey from being stretchered off the ground in the 2018 Asia Cup to winning the match for India on Sunday against the same opposition.
“The comeback is greater than the setback,” wrote Hardik Pandya sharing an image on his Twitter handle.
