This is from Ind vs Aus 2025 Champions Trophy Semi-Final

Hardik cane in after Virat got out at 225/5 when India needed 40 runs in the last 7 overs. The track was slowish and Kohli was the only set batsmen we had there. Then came Hardik played slow for the inital deliveries and then smashed Zampa for two back to back sixes and then Ellis in the next iver before getting out for 28(24) while India now needing only 6 in 13 balls

We lacked this kind of lower order player in the England series who can come in and judge the situation accordingly and go beserk like Butler did for England

PS: Shoutout to KL’s knock in this match as well, loved how he finished the match with a six later

Pls read this post as a neutral India fan.

After everything Hardik has gone through over the years—his injuries, change in roles, fluctuations in form, fan trolling, and captaincy debates—he isn't the same player he was before 2020. He bowls less now, and his batting has evolved from pure power-hitting to a more balanced approach. He also no longer plays Test cricket.

While his T20I performances are still excellent, fitness continues to be a concern. I wanted to ask about his batting in white-ball internationals. He batted at No. 4 a few times during the 2019 World Cup and played a memorable knock in the 2017 Champions Trophy final. His highest ODI scores are 92* and 90 against Australia in the 2020 series, along with 87 against Australia in 2017.

Do you think he'll ever score an ODI or T20I hundred, or has that opportunity passed? Hardik became my second-favourite cricketer after Rohit when I started watching cricket in 2019, and I didn't get the opportunity to watch his Test century in 2017 live. I've always wanted to see him score an international century in the shorter formats.

Do you think his batting prime is over, or does he still have another level left to reach?Will we able to witness him in his prototypical brute mode again?

I know personal milestones mean nothing when we consider whats necessary for the team but still these remain as good memories for both fans and the players .That's why I am just asking?What do you think?

After losing 2-0 against Ireland and 4-0 against England, what line up changes need to be made for the first Zim game? Vital to get off to a winning start in Zimbabwe and get Shreyas’s first win.

I don't think any underdog story in Indian cricket can top Sanju Samson's performances in the knockout stages of the last World Cup. But if you watch Star Sports and other cricket coverage, it seems the sponsors and cricket establishment would rather everyone forget it. Instead, the spotlight keeps shifting to Ishan Kishan and company against Ireland and Afghanistan, or to how Ishan narrowly missed a 42-ball fifty in the England T20I series.. a series India didn't even win.

Mayank Yadav's last T20I for India was in 2024 vs Bangladesh.

Since then in white ball cricket — 0/60, 0/46, 0/56, 0/50, 0/26, 0/50.

Six consecutive wicketless outings. 😳

Selectors just picked him for the Zimbabwe T20I series anyway.

Raw pace. Real potential. But the numbers right now don't justify the selection over bowlers who are actually taking wickets.

Is Mayank Yadav's selection for Zimbabwe fair? YES or NO 👇
