India star all-rounder Hardik Pandya started sweating out in gym ahead of the T20I series against Bangladesh which is scheduled to start from October 6. After a two-Test match series, team India will play three T20Is against Bangladesh where the first match will be played at Gwalior International Cricket Stadium in Madhya Pradesh, the second T20I match will take place at New Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium and the third match will take place at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.
Hardik played a key role for India in the T20 World Cup 2024 where the Rohit Sharma-led side won the title defeating South Africa in the final at Kennington Oval in Barbados on June 29. . The 30-year-old cricketer last played for India against Sri Lanka in Pallekele on July 30. The star all-rounder is expected to feature in the upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh.
Hardik took his Instagram to share the video of his workout. The clip went viral in no time.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Baroda-based cricketer shared four pictures of his training session on the field. In two of these photos, he is seen practising his batting.

Hardik, who has appeared in 102 T20Is to date, was overlooked by the BCCI for the captaincy role in the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka in July. Instead, Suryakumar Yadav, the former world No. 1 T20I batter, was appointed as captain. Yadav led India to a 3-0 series victory.
Hardik was initially considered the frontrunner to become India’s new T20I captain after Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the shortest format on June 29, following India’s victory in the T20 World Cup 2024 final against South Africa. However, the situation did not unfold as expected. Hardik was ultimately removed from the T20I captaincy, with Shubman Gill being appointed as Suryakumar Yadav's deputy instead.
