As India and South Africa gear up to take on each other in the first of the five-match T20I series, Hardik Pandya decided to train alone. The ace allrounder trained alone at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, the venue for the first T20I on December 10.
Hardik Pandya was sidelined in September after he suffered a quadricep injury during the Asia Cup. He also missed the final against Pakistan due to the injury. The India star finally returned to action earlier this month when he represented Baroda in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
He hit the ground running by scoring a match-winning 77 and taking a wicket as well against Punjab. Hardik Pandya also played against Gujarat.
