Hardik Pandya marked a stunning comeback during the IND vs SA 2025 T20I series

Hardik Pandya made his return to India’s T20I setup during the recently concluded five-match home series against South Africa. The all-rounder was back in action after recovering from a quadriceps injury sustained in the Asia Cup 2025. The 32-year-old thrilled the crowd with his aggressive batting, ending the series as India’s second-highest run-getter.

He scored 142 runs in three innings at an impressive strike rate of 186.84. With the ball, he chipped in with three wickets from four outings while conceding runs at an economy of 10.36. Hardik also earned the Player of the Match award in the final T20I.

He smashed a blistering 16-ball fifty, the second-fastest half-century by an Indian in T20Is, and went on to score 63 off just 25 deliveries, laced with five sixes and five fours, at a remarkable strike rate of 252.
