In Match No.16 of the 18th edition of the cash-rich league, Hardik took the wickets of Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant, Aiden Markram, David Miller and Akash Deep.
With this spell of 5/36, Hardik Pandya registered his best-ever T20 figures. His previous best was 4/16 against New Zealand in Ahmedabad in 2023. He is also the first captain in the tournament’s history to take a five-wicket haul in the IPL.
