Hardik Pandya rested or punished for poor form?

Along with Surya, Hardik Pandya has also been dropped from the T20 squad. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar, explaining the reason behind Pandya’s omission, said, “Hardik is an important part of the ODI squad. The next ODI World Cup is still 18 months away, so it has been decided to rest the players between T20 matches and follow a rotation strategy. Hardik gives a great balance to the team. When he resumes bowling, we will assess his performance.”

While the chief selectors have cited rotation policy as the reason behind Hardik’s omission in view of the upcoming ODI World Cup, it is equally true that Hardik’s recent T20I form has been extremely disappointing. In particular IPL 2026 He failed to impress with his captaincy and play. Hardik seems to be more in the limelight due to his personal life. Playing for Mumbai in the 19th season, Hardik scored only 210 runs in 10 matches and took only 4 wickets. Meanwhile, the captaincy of the IPL Mumbai team has also gone from Hardik.
