Hardik Pandya turned up to the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack on Sunday in preparation for the IND vs SA 1st t20I. The match will mark his return to international cricket after a gap of two months, after the Asia Cup. Pandya turned up solo for practice with the rest of the Indian team scheduled to hit the nets on Monday.

The 32-year-old has taken a page out of Virat Kohli's book. The former India captain had arrived early in Ranchi to get a feel of the conditions. The results were there to see with Kohli winning the player of the series award. Pandya will hope his efforts on Sunday help him achieve something similar with the t20 World Cup 2026 on the horizon.
