Hardik Pandya Badly Trolled For His BYJU’s Jersey
The flamboyant Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has made a comeback to the Indian T20I side for the three-match series against South Africa scheduled to be commencing on September 15 (Sunday). Ahead of the series, he was badly for his recent Instagram post.
Pandya missed the West Indies series as he copped up a few blows during the World Cup and the selection panel headed by MSK Prasad decided to rest him from the series against the Caribbeans. During this period, he got time to work on his fitness in order to make a strong comeback to the team.
