Hardik Pandya: It was like a concert- a cricket concert. The crowd was crazy in the Dubai International Stadium to see India was on their way to another ICC tournament final. The stage set by Mohammad Shami, Varun Chakravarthy, Ravindra Jadeja and other Indian bowlers, it was none other than Virat Kohli and KL Rahul who set the tune in a classical manner and it was Hardik Pandya who was rockstar of the match. Hardik Pandya, it was the same man who was brutally booed by the crowd during the last IPL edition.

Now a new chapter

Now he is again thriving in the hearts of cricket fans. Pandya batted over a hundred strike rate last night in Dubai, against australia, hit 3 over boundaries, including a 106 meter mammoth hit. The star Indian all-rounder scored an important 28 runs for 24 balls, before loosing his wicket to Nathan Ellis, It was an easy catch for Glenn Maxwell. But it was too late.

Too late for Australia

When Hardik got back to the pavillion India already on 259 runs (47.5 overs), KL Rahul was still on the crease and Ravindra Jadeja walked into the field to replace Pandya. India, without no such trouble, find their place into the Champions Trophy 2025 final. The men in blue brigade will face one of these two teams- New Zealand or South Africa.

A video of Hardik Pandya went viral overnight. In this video we can see, Pandya smashed Adam Zampa for a gigantic over boundary. Helpless Zampa was only watching the ball up in the sky and went into the stand.
