New Delhi. Hardik Pandya is a real warrior… he showed this during the 50th match of IPL 2025 against Rajasthan Royals.

Despite such an injury, playing his match reflects his commitment towards the team. Hardik Pandya played 48* runs off 23 balls in this match and then took 1 wicket in bowling.

Seeing this commitment of Pandya, the fans remembered Virat Kohli when in 2016 he played a creative innings against Punjab Kings despite having 8 stitches on his hand.

How was RR vs Mi match?

After losing the toss, the team of Mumbai Indians came out to bat first and scored 217 runs on the board at the loss of 2 wickets in 20 overs with the help of half -centuries from Rohit Sharma and Rile Ricelton. Apart from Rohit and Riklton, Suryakumar Yadav and captain Hardik Pandya played an unbeaten innings of 48-48 runs.

Chasing this score, the Rajasthan Royals team was badly disappointed by their batsmen. RR's poor batting can be gauged from the fact that Jofra Archer was his highest run -scorer with 30 runs. Trent Bolt did 3 wickets to destroy Rajasthan's batting order. Apart from him, Karan Sharma also got the same success.
