On Monday, Hardik tweeted birthday wishes to Zaheer, posting a video in which he can be seen hitting the pacer “out of the park”. While Pandya’s tweet angered fans, Zaheer responded calmly, reminding the all-rounder of the next delivery he had faced in that match.

Zak’s reply read: “Hahahaha….thank you for the wishes @hardikpandya7 my batting skills can never be as good as yours but the birthday was as good as the next delivery you faced from me in this match”.

Pandya’s tweet read: “Happy birthday Zak … Hope you smash it out of the park-like I did here @ImZaheer”.

Pandya recently underwent lower back surgery in the United Kingdom (UK) and on Tuesday he shared his journey towards full recovery via a video on Twitter. Hardik had left for the United Kingdom to get his back treated by the same doctor who treated him during India’s tour of England in 2018 and the 2019 World Cup.

He was not picked in the India squad for the ongoing three-Test series against the visiting South Africans. He will also be missing the T20I series against Bangladesh which will be played in India, starting November 3.
