Hardik Pandya made his return to international cricket after two months of absence following an injury during the Asia Cup 2025. With an injured quadriceps, Pandya was snubbed from India's tour to Australia and also the ODI leg of the South Africa series.
Pandya not only returned to the field but also rang the bells for his arrival in the shortest format of the game. Pandya dominated the Proteas with the bat as he fired in with a 28-ball 59-run innings. He then went on to dismiss David Miller as his only wicket in the game.
The Cuttack crowd welcomed Pandya with loud cheers, and after the innings he played, they did not step back from celebrating the Indian all-rounder's return with craze and warmth.

"My mindset was always really about coming back stronger, bigger, and better. Every time I walk in, I feel like the crowd is just waiting; they have come in for this moment to watch me bat. For that, I have stood strong and done a lot of things with grace, and that has helped me to become even more confident and back myself," he added.
"Special mention to my partner as well, she's been nothing but the best to me since she has entered my life, and a lot of great things have happened since she entered my life," Pandya said, thanking his girlfriend, Mahieka Sharma, for her unwavering support.
