Hardik Pandya's impressive comeback this time
Is not only to secure his place in Team India, but also to avenge his 24-match losing streak against South Africa. After recovering from injury, Pandya has returned to the nets, and his new training video is going viral on social media, showing him sweating profusely both while batting and bowling.
A fresh start after injury
Hardik Pandya has been out of action for some time due to injury. He recently shared a video on his social media handle, confirming his fitness and readiness to return to the team. According to reports, he is preparing himself for selection in the ODI and T20 series against South Africa. This time, it will be a big one.
This time, he returns to the field with a lesson.
Hardik knows that his previous performance against a team like South Africa is a blot on his career. That's why he's preparing to return this time with a different attitude and renewed energy. His goal is to make a significant contribution with the bat and play a key role in helping Team India win the series.
Failure figures against South Africa
Even though Hardik is considered one of India's most reliable all-rounders, his record against South Africa has been weak and shocking. He has scored just 272 runs in 24 matches (8 ODIs, 16 T20Is) against South Africa. His best score with the bat in T20Is has been a mere 46. He has a total of 16 wickets (5 in ODIs, 11 in T20Is). Therefore, Hardik doesn't appear to have any significant individual performance against South Africa.
India-South Africa series schedule
India and South Africa will first play a two-Test series, followed by a white-ball series.
ODI series:
From November 30
T20 Series:
From December 9
For Hardik Pandya, this series will not only be a comeback but also a battle for prestige. Now it remains to be seen whether he can make amends for his past failures against the South African bowlers this time.
