Baroda all-rounder Hardik Pandya displayed his explosive batting skills during a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) match against Tamil Nadu. Pandya’s phenomenal performance was highlighted by an electrifying over where he smashed four sixes and a four off Tamil Nadu fast bowler Gurjapneet Singh.
Gurjapneet, who recently gained attention after being bought by Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2025 mega auction for ₹2.20 crore, struggled to contain Pandya’s onslaught. The over proved to be a game-changing moment, showcasing Pandya’s ability to dominate bowlers under pressure.
Pandya’s unbeaten knock of 69 runs off just 30 balls was crucial in helping Baroda chase down a mammoth target of 222 runs. His exceptional innings reaffirmed his status as one of the most dynamic all-rounders in Indian cricket.
This thrilling victory was not just a testament to Pandya’s batting prowess but also a statement of Baroda’s strength as a competitive T20 side.
