Hardik Pandya looked in blazing touch with the bat as he guided India to a massive total of 256-4 against Zimbabwe in their Super Eights clash of the T20 World Cup 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Hardik smashed a six off the last delivery of the innings, which also got him to his half-century off just 23.

After reaching the landmark and propelling India to a record total, Hardik waved a flying kiss to his fiancée Mahieka Sharma, who was cheering for the all-rounder from the stands at Chepauk. Mahieka's reaction to Hardik's hard-hitting strokes to ensure a strong finish was epic, and she was in awe of the Baroda cricketer's striking abilities, like millions of Indian fans on Thursday night.
