India's trusted match-winner and seasoned all-rounder Hardik Pandya will once again be in the spotlight as the Men in Blue prepare to launch their Asia Cup 2025 campaign this week. The tournament, which kicks off on Tuesday, offers Pandya not only a chance to anchor India’s charge toward continental supremacy but also an opportunity to etch his name into the T20I record books.

At 31, Pandya continues to remain one of India’s most vital assets in the shortest format. Known for his ability to absorb pressure and deliver in clutch moments, the Baroda-born cricketer has consistently demonstrated his value with both bat and ball. Now, with 114 T20Is under his belt, Pandya stands within touching distance of two major personal milestones.
