Hardik Pandya will try to make up for his 24-match failure
The important thing is that the purpose behind his hard work is not just to play against South Africa or make a comeback. Rather, this time he may also be looking to make up for his 24-match failure against South Africa. Now the question is: how did Hardik's failure against South Africa happen?
Performance against South Africa is not exceptional.
After playing 24 white-ball matches against South Africa, Hardik Pandya has not scored a century, let alone a half-century. His run total in these 24 matches hasn't even crossed the 300-run mark. He has scored just 272 runs. The 24 matches Hardik Pandya has played against South Africa include 8 ODIs and 16 T20Is.
Forget centuries, not even half-centuries, 272 runs in 24 matches.
In the 8 ODIs he has played against South Africa, Hardik Pandya has scored just 41 runs at a modest average of 13.66, with his best score being 15 not out. He has taken 5 wickets during this period. Similarly, in 16 T20Is against South Africa, Hardik Pandya has scored just 231 runs. His best score in this format is 46. Hardik Pandya has taken 11 wickets with the ball against South Africa in T20Is.
Hardik Pandya begins preparations
It's clear that Hardik Pandya's performance against South Africa, especially with the bat, doesn't seem to be at the level that matches his temperament. Hardik Pandya would like fans to see some big scores from his bat when he takes the field against South Africa this time. This could be a major reason for him to begin preparations even before the team is announced.
