India's star all-rounder Hardik Pandya had a net session to remember at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Hardik, who is India's go to all-rounder in the white-ball circuit is known for clean hitting, flamboyant attitude, and classic bowling was looking in jolly mood ahead of the all-important clash against South Africa on 22 February in Super 8 of T20 World Cup 2026. 

India will be facing South Africa, West Indies and Zimbabwe in Super 8 of T20 World Cup. In the group stage, India won all their 4 matches against United States of America, Namibia, Pakistan, and Netherlands. It will be interesting to see if India can continue its form against Proteas - who have also won all their matches at the Group Stage. 

Watch Hardik Pandya's net session ahead of clash vs South Africa

Hardik Pandya has chipped in with five wickets in the four matches at an average of 22.20, a strike rate of 16.80, and an economy of 7.92, with his best bowling figures coming against Pakistan in Colombo where he registered 2/16. 

Hardik has been very consistent with the bat too - failing just once against Pakistan. It will be interesting to see if Hardik can continue his fine run at the Super 8 when team requries the most.
