Hardik Pandya fastest ball
It would be fair to say that Hardik Pandya the ‘all-rounder’ was reborn during the 2022 IPL season. He led the new franchise Gujarat Titans to the title in their maiden season and himself contributed with both bat and ball. He found his place back in the national T20I side against South Africa at home and then kept his place in India’s tour to England for the T20I series in July.
It was the first T20I of the series against England and Pandya scored a crucial 51 off 33 deliveries and scalped 4 wickets with the ball. In the same match he clocked 90+ Mph i.e., 146.1 Kph which happens to be Hardik Pandya’s fastest delivery in international cricket.
Hardik’s back injury
The Indian all-rounder suffered a back injury during the 2018 Asia Cup, and he was stretchered out of the Dubai stadium. His back injury kept him out of action for at least four to six weeks. He did play the 2019 World Cup in England but wasn’t at his best. He also featured in the 2021 T20 World Cup in UAE but didn’t bowl at all as he played purely as a batter. From 3 innings Hardik scored 69 runs with only 2 sixes to his name. It was the 2022 IPL season where he redeemed himself and started bowling and rest is history.
