Hardik Pandya gets mobbed by his fans in Hyderabad.<\/p>\n

Hardik Pandya\u2019s fanfare became a problem for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) authorities on Tuesday. The all-rounder got mobbed several times by the Hyderabad crowd eager to meet and click photos with him at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match against Punjab.<\/p>\n

This was the all-rounder\u2019s return to competitive cricket after several weeks. He picked up a quadricep injury while bowling the first over against Sri Lanka in the 2025 Asia Cup and was ruled out of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, when security personnel tried to keep some of the pitch invaders away, Pandya seemed to walk to them and say to the officers to let them take their selfies before going. Watch it here:<\/p>\n

His comeback match didn\u2019t start perfectly, as he conceded 52 runs in his four overs, though taking the wicket of Punjab\u2019s senior batter and top-scorer Anmolpreet Singh for 69 (32). The Punjabis still managed to put up a whopping 222\/8 in 20 overs at the typically flat surface, with youngster Raj Limbani taking three wickets.<\/p>\n

In reply, the rejuvenated Baroda team put up a stellar team performance. Openers Vishnu Solanki and Shashwat Rawat had a stand of 66 (31) before Shivalik Sharma and Pandya took over.<\/p>\n

The latter showed all his class, smashing 77 (42) with seven sixes and four boundaries at a strike rate of 183.33. Baroda chased the total down in 19.1 overs.<\/p>\n

Hardik Pandya spent a month in CoE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pandya has worked quite hard for this moment. He reportedly spent a month in the BCCI\u2019s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru to get fit and is now targeting an international return in the five-T20I series against South Africa, which begins on December 9.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom October 21 to November 30, Hardik didn\u2019t even move out of the COE and completed his full rehab and \u2018Return To Play\u2019 protocols,” news agency\u00a0PTI<\/em> quoted a source in the know of the developments as saying. \u201cAs of now, he has been given the all clear \u2014 to bat and bowl in T20Is \u2014 and he has already linked up with the Baroda team for the Punjab game. He will play on December 4 vs Gujarat and if the Indian team management doesn\u2019t summon him earlier, then he plans to play the December 6 game against Haryana also.”<\/p>\n
