Watch: Hardik Pandya Smashes 5 Sixes And A Four To Reach Maiden List A Hundred

India’s premier all-rounder Hardik Pandya delivered an exceptional performance, marking his maiden List A century and continuing his impressive form for Baroda against Vidarbha in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy at the Niranjan Shah Stadium on Saturday.

When Pandya came to the crease, Baroda was struggling at 71 for five after 20 overs. Batting at number seven, Hardik began cautiously to build a partnership and reached his half-century in 44 balls.

Pandya then shifted gears, taking just 24 more balls to reach the century mark. He hammered 34 runs in the 39th over, hitting five sixes and a four in six deliveries, completing his century in just 68 balls.

Apart from Pandya, the other Baroda batters struggled against Vidarbha’s bowling, with none crossing the 30-run mark. Yash Thakur led Vidarbha’s attack with four wickets, while Nachiket Bhute and Parth Rekhade took two wickets each.

This was Pandya’s first match for Baroda this season. In total, he has played 119 List A matches, including 94 ODIs for India, eight for India A, and 17 for Baroda. Pandya has scored 2,300 runs in List A cricket and has also taken 110 wickets in this format.

Hardik Pandya has been in outstanding form recently. In the India vs South Africa five-game T20I series last month, he scored 142 runs at a strike rate of 186.84, marking a remarkable comeback after recovering from an injury that had sidelined him for over three months. With Team India set to announce their ODI squad for the New Zealand series on Saturday, Pandya’s performance brings positive news for the team.
