Hardik then donned his pads and spent an extended period batting in the nets. He batted last and was observed engaging in discussions with batting coach Vikram Rathour, as per a video uploaded by Star Sports. (Image Credit: PTI)

Hardik faced difficulties in finding his form during the IPL, tallying just 216 runs in 14 matches and taking 11 wickets with an economy rate of nearly 11. (Image Credit: PTI)

Nonetheless, the all-rounder is anticipated to play a pivotal role in the T20 World Cup 2024 for India, especially considering India's selection of only three frontline pacers in their 15-man squad. (Image Credit: PTI)
