Hardik on history; This legendary double in T20 is just for him
Superstar Hardik Pandya, who returned to the domestic circuit after a long time, created history in the first game of his comeback. Hardik achieved a career milestone after his fireworks against Gujarat in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Hardik made his remarkable comeback by becoming one of the players to score 5,000 T20 runs in the T20 format.
The player is collecting runs at an average of 29.80 and a strike rate of 140.63 from 240 innings. The player’s highest score of 91 in T-20 is 19 fifties.
After this, Hardik added an iconic double to his name. Hardik became the first Indian player to score 5000 runs and 100 wickets in the T20 format.
Pandya has taken 180 wickets at an average of 28.62 and a strike rate of 20.6 from 219 matches bowled in T20Is. Bowling at an economy of 8.30, the Mumbai Indians skipper’s best bowling figures are 4/16.
Meanwhile, in the match against Gujarat, Baroda won by five wickets thanks to Hardik’s fireworks. Baroda chased down Gujarat’s target of 185 runs with three balls to spare.
Arya Desai, who batted first in the match, picked up a good score on the strength of Gujarat’s half-century. Desai scored 78 runs in 52 balls and became the strength of the Gujarat team.
Axar Patel, who scored 43 runs off 33 balls and Hemang Patel, who scored 26 runs off 10 balls, helped the Gujarat team.
Baroda’s reply replaced Desai’s half-century with two half-centuries. Hardik Pandya’s unbeaten 74 off 35 balls and Shivalik Sharma’s 64 off 43 balls made it easy for Baroda to win.
Baroda are third in Group B after this win. Saurashtra and Tamil Nadu are ranked first and second.
