Hardik Pandya shines in India's 2-1 win over Australia
Pandya was in stunning form in the recently concluded three-match T20I series against Australia as he led India to clinch the series 2-0. Pandya, who has been deprived of bowling due to his back injury, smashed the Aussies in the second T20I as he guided India to a six-wicket victory.
Pandya played a brilliant knock of 42 runs off 22 balls, with two humongous sixes to seal the deal at the end, and earned himself the Man of the Match award. He was also named the 'Player of the Series' for his brilliant performances which he decided to give away to youngster T Natarajan who was playing his debut series and gave impactful performances.
Pandya underwent a back surgery in October last year in the UK. His lower back had troubled him since the Test series in England in 2018. The surgery kept him out of action for almost a year, with the all-rounder last playing a T20 International against South Africa at home in September 2019.
