A serious discussion was taking place between the two. Hardik Pandya was injured during the 2025 Asia Cup, which prevented him from playing in the final against Pakistan. However, he was fully fit before the T20 series against South Africa and also participated in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Hardik Pandya was named Player of the Match in the first T20I against South Africa in Cuttack. He performed brilliantly with both bat and ball. Batting first, Hardik Pandya scored an unbeaten 59 off 28 balls. He also took one wicket with the ball.
