Fans Thrilled To See Hardik Pandya at Wankhede

The decider T20I match between India and West Indies turned out to be a rip-roaring encounter as ace Indian batters tore apart Windies bowlers with their swashbuckling performance. In the end, India managed to beat West Indies by 67 runs to claim the three-match T20I series 2-1. Chasing India's third highest T20I total of 240/3, West Indies could only muster 173/8 in 20 overs. Besides the star-studded batting line-up comprising of Rohit Sharma (71), K L Rahul (91) and skipper Virat Kohli (29-ball 70 blitz), there was another cynosure of eyes at the Wankhede stadium. It was none other than the all-rounder – Hardik Pandya. His public appearance sparked hope among fans for his return. Hardik's last international appearance was in a T20I match against South Africa in Bengaluru.

The 26-year-old has been away from cricket after a prolong lower back injury for which he had to undergo a surgery in England this October. In an interview, Hardik accepted that he was aware of the fact that going under the knife would keep him off the field for a very long time, but he couldn't have thought of a better time to get his back treated. Currently, he is in rehabilitation and trying to get to the full-match fitness. His recovery paved way for young sensation Shivam Dube to be part of the national squad.

Now that Hardik is getting better, he is aiming for a comeback in the New Zealand tour in February next year. His attendance at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai caught the attention of cricket fans. The Mumbai Indians all-rounder was spotted sitting with Akash Ambani in the VIP box of the stadium.
