In a closely contested match, Pandya showcased his versatility by both bowling and batting. Opening the bowling for Reliance 1, he bowled three economical overs of medium pace, conceding 22 runs and claiming two crucial wickets, including a caught-bowled dismissal.
But Pandya’s contribution didn’t end there. Despite coming in at No. 10 position in the batting order, he made a notable impact with the bat, remaining unbeaten while scoring three runs off four balls. His resilience helped his team chase down the target of 126 runs in 15 overs, securing a thrilling victory despite losing eight wickets along the way.
This match marked Pandya’s first competitive appearance since his ankle injury during India’s match against Bangladesh last October. His return to form is a promising sign for cricket fans, especially with the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), where he is set to lead the Mumbai Indians.
Meanwhile, there’s also buzz surrounding the potential appearance of Ishan Kishan for the RBI squad in an upcoming match. Despite his recent absence from cricketing activities, sources suggest that Kishan may participate in the tournament, adding an element of excitement to the competition. Kishan, who has been training alongside the Pandya brothers in Bardoa, has maintained a low profile, even ignoring directives from the BCCI to represent his state, Jharkhand, in the Ranji Trophy.
As the DY Patil T20 tournament unfolds over the next two weeks, cricket enthusiasts eagerly anticipate more thrilling matches and memorable performances. With the final scheduled for March 10, the stage is set for an exhilarating display of talent and skill from some of India’s finest cricketers.
