India all-rounder Hardik Pandya shared his batting preparation on social media with fans. Hardik is currently not part of the Indian team, as he is working on his fitness.
Posting the video on Instagram, Hardik wrote, "In my happy space." Known for his explosive batting, he practiced power hitting in the nets and managed to find a good connection on most of the deliveries.
The 28-year-old's comeback is much awaited as his return will add a good balance to the side. Before the break, he was struggling to play the role of an all-rounder due to a lack of fitness.
Hardik's back problem had not allowed him to bowl regularly. But when asked if he will be bowling in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL 2022), he replied that it's going to be a surprise for everyone.
"It's (bowling) a surprise for everyone. My team knows where I stand. It's been challenging. I've always been someone who contributes with the bat, ball, and on the field. When I decided I will just bat, I wanted to spend some time on the ground. We all love challenges and I love to fight it out. Criticism is good and it doesn't really bother me," he said, as quoted by Cricbuzz.
Hardik will be leading his home state-based franchise, Ahmedabad in the upcoming IPL season. They have also picked Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill from the draft.
