Team India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has reportedly completed an intense rehabilitation program at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence ahead of the upcoming five-match T20I series against South Africa. According to a PTI report, Hardik is expected to make his comeback for the Men in Blue in the T20I series.
Pandya has been out of action since injuring his left quadriceps during the Asia Cup 2025. The all-rounder missed the Asia Cup final against Pakistan. He was also not included in the white-ball squads for the Australia tour. His recovery took longer than expected, which ruled him out of the South Africa ODIs as well.
