[WATCH] Hardik Pandya's net practice video against Jasprit Bumrah goes viral during IPL 2025

Hardik Pandya has been a superb power hitter in the lower order of the Indian cricket team and for the Mumbai Indians in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Coming into number five or six, the right-handed batter has always contributed with the big shots to provide the teams a chance to finish on a high in the innings.

On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah is a premier pacer of India and world cricket across formats. The right-arm pacer has the skill of foxing such batters with his smart bowling, thunder yorkers, and change of pace. Bumrah also carries the ability of picking wickets with the new ball inside the powerplay.

A viral has gone viral in the social media where it has come most probably from the net session of the IPL 2025 for the Mumbai Indians between Pandya and Bumrah. The first of the three-ball set to the all-rounder from the bowler was a length ball outside the off-stump to which Hardik swung his willow for a six.

The second ball of the set from the Ahmedabad-born was a low full toss into the legs as the right-handed batter timed it perfectly into the ropes for a boundary. Bumrah perhaps aimed to get the yorker but mistimed it to a low full toss. But as he does, Bumrah hardly missed any yorker. The third ball was on the root of the stumps as Pandya had no clue apart from seeing his stumps getting rattled.

During the IPL, both these players have face each other, when Pandya was appointed the captain of the Gujarat Titans for two seasons of the league when he left the Mumbai side in 2022 and 2023. During those two editions, Bumrah bowled six balls at Pandya, who was able to get just three runs in reply without getting dismissed.

Both players have been selected in the 15-member squad for India for the upcoming Asia Cup 2025 in the United Arab Emirates. They will look to bring their best performance with bat and ball respectively to defend their title from the last edition which they won in 2023 for the 50-over format.
