Notably, this outing is his first match since getting injured during the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 game against Sri Lanka. His presence in domestic cricket is crucial for Team India ahead of the five-match T20I series against South Africa starting on December 9. Pandya worked hard on regaining full match rhythm.
In the middle of the over, a fan suddenly ran onto the field. He reached Hardik, touched his feet, and even took a quick selfie before security intervened. As the fan was taken away, Hardik made a few gestures towards the security staff.

Hardik Pandya returned to action after missing Baroda’s first three SMAT 2025 games. He opened the bowling for Krunal Pandya’s side, but the match did not go the way he would have hoped.
Punjab captain Abhishek Sharma attacked him early, smashing 50 off just 19 balls. Anmolpreet Singh also went after him and scored 69 from 32 deliveries. Hardik did get one moment of relief when he dismissed Anmolpreet in his final over, breaking a dangerous third-wicket partnership.
