With the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 about to begin, the hopes of Indian fans are once again up and running. All eyes are on the 15-member squad that will vie to end the long wait of winning an ICC trophy from June 2 in the USA and West Indies. As Team India would enter the tournament at the back of an exhausting IPL 2024 season, the fitness of every player might be a concern. About the same, major focus would be on Hardik Pandya, who has had injury issues in the past. Paying further heed to it, fresh reports of Hardik Pandya's activity in nets have come out.

Hardik Pandya is doing all the hard work in the nets

Some encouraging reports about Hardik Pandya's fitness have appeared. According to it, Pandya is perspiring in the nets. In the recent session, he batted for more than one hour and bowled for 40 minutes.

Have to come out of the IPL 2024 disappointment

Hardik Pandya's debut season as the captain of Mumbai Indians was nothing short of a nightmare. The team struggled for results throughout the season and finished at the bottom of the table with just 4 wins in 14 matches. Pandya's performance also led the team down. In the 14 matches, the all-rounder could only cumulate 216 runs with the bat and took 11 wickets in the tournament.

However, Hardik Pandya would quickly have to put the disappointment behind, as a bigger trophy is up for grabs. As the vice-captain of Team India, it would be Pandya's first major assignment, and all eyes would be on him, as he would be required to deliver for India with both bat and ball.
