Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has recovered well from his lower-back injury as the attacking batsman scored a superb century (105 runs to be precise) off just 39 deliveries while playing for Reliance 1 against CAG in DY Patil T20 Cup at the Reliance Corporate Park on Tuesday (3 March).
Hardik who last played for India in September last year against South Africa at Bangalore was at his best as he hit eight fours and 10 huge sixes and helped Reliance 1 to get to 252/5 in their quota of 20 overs. He also claimed a five-wicket haul as Reliance 1 won by 101 runs.
Here are the videos of Hardik Pandya’s knock:

“It's fantastic (platform) for someone like me. I have been away for almost six months. This is my second game after a long time. For me, it is a good platform to see where I am currently and test my body. I am really happy with the way things have gone,” said Pandya on the DY Patil Sports Academy Facebook page.
On his big-hitting prowess, the 26-year old said: "If it's there in my arc I just back myself and go for it. Most of the time, it comes out pretty well. There is no plan that I am going to go out there and smash it."
Thus, it will be interesting to see Pandya in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as Mumbai Indians take on CSK at Wankhede Stadium on 29 March.
