Mumbai : A remarkable vague from the India tour of Australia, all-rounder Hardik Pandya has asserted a five -wicket -haul on his return to the field for Baroda during the ongoing Ranji Trophy Match against Mumbai.
Hardik Pandya suffered an acute lower back injury during the Asia Cup fixture against Pakistan in September, which ended on the first day of the first-class match with 3/74 and followed it up with two more wickets on day two today.
With the help of 25-year old Pandya a new ball released the Mumbai openers Aditya Tare (15) and Vilas Auti (12) in quick progression, while dismissed Shivam Dube for 37 runs in the 85th over on the first day. Today morning as Mumbai resumed their batting the pacer sent Akash Parkar (22) and Royston Dias back to end figures of 5/81 in first-class cricket.
