Career
Hardik Pandya is the seam-bowling allrounder India spent two decades looking for: a lower-middle-order batter with the range to clear the boundary from the first ball he faces, and a bowler quick enough to be a genuine fourth or fifth option rather than a part-timer.
That combination is what allows India to play five bowlers in white-ball cricket without weakening the batting, and his availability has repeatedly determined the balance of the side. Back surgery in 2019 forced a period bowling little or not at all, and the gradual restoration of his bowling workload was a significant part of India's planning.
He captained Gujarat Titans to the IPL title in their debut season in 2022 and has led India in T20 internationals.
