Hardik Pandya scored a 133 off 92 balls with 11 sixes, leading Baroda to 293 for 9 in the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

India all-rounder Hardik Pandya scored his first List A century, 133 off 92 balls with 11 sixes and eight fours, including five sixes in one over, to help Baroda post 293 for 9 against Vidarbha in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Batting at number seven, he steadied a struggling innings after Baroda was 71 for five, accelerating rapidly to his century in 68 balls. His explosive knock, part of a strong comeback following a three-month injury layoff, includes a 142-run effort at a 186.84 strike rate in the recent T20I series against South Africa. The performance boosts his chances of selection for India’s upcoming ODI series against New Zealand.
