The Indian cricket team recently won the 4-match T20I series 3-1 on the South Africa tour. Hardik Pandya is also part of the Indian team for this tour. Now, the Indian team is participating in the Gavaskar Trophy tour across Australia but Hardik Pandya is not part of the Test squad. In this case, he will be seen experimenting in domestic cricket. Hardik Hardik will play in the 20-over Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy starting from November 23. He will be part of the Baroda team led by his brother Krunal Pandya.
The Pandya brothers will hit the ground running a day before the IPL 2025 mega auction begins in Jeddah. Under Krunal’s leadership, Baroda reached the final of the 2023-24 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy but lost to Punjab in Mohali. Hardik’s return to domestic cricket is very important for the team. Hardik last played for Baroda in the Ranji Trophy in 2018-19. He last played in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in January 2016 and did not play any international cricket at that time.
MI to be part of IPL 2025
Hardik was retained by Mumbai Indians last month and he will continue to captain them. Meanwhile, Krunal has been released by Lucknow Supergiants and will be part of the mega auction. Baroda made a strong start to the domestic season, topping Group A with 27 points in the first phase of the Ranji Trophy. Hardik Pandya and Krunal Pandya have not played together in a team for a long time. Both players played together for Mumbai Indians for many years but later went to different teams. However, Hardik returned to Mumbai Indians after spending two seasons with Gujarat Titans.
