    Hardik Pandya Confirms T20 World Cup Readiness After Explosive Domestic Form

    Analysis by Third Umpire·January 15, 2026

    Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya has demonstrated strong all-round form in domestic cricket, confirming his readiness for India's T20 World Cup plans despite being rested from the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand. Pandya, who was recently seen celebrating Makar Sankranti, was sidelined from the 50-over format due to workload management concerns regarding his ability to consistently bowl a full 10-over spell.

    However, the all-rounder showcased his destructive batting and bowling capabilities in recent domestic outings. Playing against Chandigarh, Pandya smashed a rapid 75 runs off just 31 balls and returned bowling figures of 3/66. He also registered a century against Vidarbha, proving his fitness and match-winning potential. Pandya is expected to feature prominently in the upcoming T20I series against New Zealand, which is crucial for India's T20 World Cup preparations.
