Hardik Pandya spends some time off with brother and friends in Bengaluru

Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been making some serious buzz in international cricket. The hard hitting batsman has managed to win two Player of the Match awards in the three ODIs played thus far against the Australian side in the ongoing series. Ahead of the fourth ODI in Bengaluru, Pandya found some time off the field with his closed ones.

The break was perhaps the much needed one before he gets back in action. With consistent performances, Hardik Pandya has surely raised the bar high for himself now. The fans and the team has started expecting more from his willow. Pandya shared the picture of his outing with his closed ones on his social media handle.

He was seen with his brother Krunal Pandya in the picture and team India friends Yuzvendra Chahal, and KL Rahul. Also in the pic was broadcaster Jatin Sapru. The gentlemen certainly had a good time. Pandya added a caption along with the picture, “The Boys are back.”

Rising up the ranks

Meanwhile, his rise up the ranks has been appreciated by the India A coach Rahul Dravid, under whom Hardik Pandya had developed his game last year. Dravid, in a recent interaction, had mentioned that the best part of Hardik’s game is the way he is adapting to the different situations in the game.

“A good example about Hardik from my perspective is, he’s willing to play situations and not just the natural game we often speak about. Credit goes completely to him. It’s not about playing just the one way you want to play. If he bats at four, he bats in a particular way. If he bats at six, he bats in a particular way. Tomorrow, he may bat at 80 for 4, like he did in the first ODI with Dhoni. That shows maturity and that’s what you want to see,” mentioned Rahul Dravid.
