T20 World Cup: In the practice match being played between India and Bangladesh at Nassau Cricket County in New York, Team India, batting first, scored 182 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in 20 overs. In this match, all eyes were on the form of some players of the Indian team, which also included the name of this vice-captain Hardik Pandya. IPL 2024 was very bad for Hardik, in which he could not manage to show any magic with the ball along with the bat. Now Hardik has almost left this bad form behind, in which he showed amazing performance with the bat in the practice match against Bangladesh, played an unbeaten innings of 40 runs with just 23 balls and also played the role of a finisher very well.
Hardik hit three consecutive sixesWhen Hardik Pandya came out to bat in the practice match against Bangladesh, the score of the Indian team at that time was 130 runs in the 15th over. From here, Hardik started scoring runs rapidly along with handling the innings from one end, in which Hardik hit 3 consecutive sixes in the first three balls of the 17th over of the innings against Bangladesh team spinner Tanvir Islam. After this, Hardik hit the fourth six of his aggressive innings on the 5th ball of the 19th over. Apart from this, 2 fours were also seen from Hardik's bat. In this match, Hardik hit a total of 6 boundaries, from which he scored a total of 32 runs in his innings. This form of Hardik must have also reduced the tension of captain Rohit Sharma a bit.Hardik Pandya will play his fourth T20 World CupHardik Pandya will play in the T20 World Cup for the fourth time in his international cricket career.
