Harbhajan expressed empathy for Pandya's situation, stating that losing the captaincy must be a significant setback for him. He said, "He came after winning the T20 World Cup and suddenly, it's a big setback for him.

Talking about India’s T20 squad for the Bangladesh series, the likes of Sanju Samson and Jitesh Sharma have been added to the side.

Hardik Pandya’s highest score in T20Is is 71*, which he made against Australia in Mohali in 2022. Batting first, India set up a platform for Hardik with KL Rahul’s fifty and Suryakumar Yadav’s 46.

Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh expressed his shock over Hardik Pandya's snub as captain of the T20I team. Hardik was all set to replace Rohit as captain following the latter's retirement from the format.

Harbhajan Singh has reacted to Hardik Pandya getting snubbed from T20I captaincy. The senior all-rounder was ignored for the top job after the 2024 T20 World Cup and the selectors handed the top job to Suryakumar Yadav.

Eyes will be on Hardik Pandya as India take on Bangladesh in the upcoming three-match T20I series, starting on October 6. The Indian all-rounder has been in sublime touch this year and would want to carry forward his form.
