Hardik Pandya started preparations, will return to the field to settle the score of 24 matches against South Africa!

Hardik Pandya is in a comeback mood once again. This time his target is not only to make a place in Team India but also to take revenge for his 24-match failure against South Africa. After recovering from injury, Pandya has returned to the nets and his new training video is going viral on social media, in which he is seen sweating profusely while both batting and bowling.

New start after injury

Hardik Pandya was out of the team for some time due to injury. Recently, by sharing a video on his social media handle, he has proved that he is completely fit and ready to return to the team. According to reports, he is preparing himself for selection in the ODI and T20 series against South Africa.

Failing figures against South Africa

Even though Hardik is counted among India’s most reliable all-rounders, his record against South Africa has been weak and shocking. He has scored only 272 runs in 24 matches (8 ODIs, 16 T20) against South Africa. Talking about T20, his best score with the bat has been only 46 runs. Whereas in bowling, he has a total of 16 wickets in his name (5 in ODI, 11 in T20). That is, Hardik does not see any great individual performance against South Africa. He has failed to score even a century and a half-century.

This time back on the field with a lesson

Hardik knows that his previous performance against a team like South Africa is like a blot on his career graph. This is the reason why he is preparing to return this time with a different attitude and new energy. His aim is to make a big contribution with the bat and play an important role in Team India winning the series.

India-South Africa series schedule
