Hardik Pandya has been on fire since the beginning of the year, as evidenced by his outstanding IPL 2022 campaign. He led Gujarat Titans to an IPL title in their inaugural season, his first as the tournament’s full-time captain. The 28-year-old is in better shape than ever and appears to be at the pinnacle of his abilities.
After consulting with the BCCI medical team, Pandya underwent spine surgery in 2019 and was ruled out of action until November 2020. On July 18, he posted an Instagram montage highlighting his recovery from the 2019 surgery as well as his journey to the top of the cricketing world. He also thanked his family members for their support in difficult times.
“Through the ups and downs, with my people by my side. Woke up every morning raring to go, with the will to become stronger, with the will to become fitter and play for my country. Always grateful to those who stood by me, who encouraged me, who guided me,” Pandya tweteed.
Premier all-rounder Hardik Pandya said on Sunday, “my body is fine,” after bending his back without pain, just the kind of assurance the Indian team management needed in the year of the T20 World Cup. Hardik, who had been plagued by back problems, took a career-best 4/24 and then batted 71 runs to help India defeat England in the series-deciding third ODI. He made good use of the short ball, taking three wickets with it.
