Team India vice-captain Hardik Pandya was spotted unwinding in Barbados ahead of the Super 8s of the ongoing 2024 T20 World Cup. The Men in Blue remained unbeaten in their United States of America (USA) leg and will now gear up for the Super 8 round.
Taking to his official Instagram handle on Monday, June 17, Pandya shared a few pictures of himself in Barbados. In one of the photographs, he can be seen chilling at a basketball court on the beach.

While Pandya hasn't had much chance to prove his mettle with the bat at the 2024 T20 World Cup, he has impressed many with his bowling exploits. The talismanic all-rounder is India's leading wicket-taker in the edition, bagging seven wickets from three outings at an economy rate of 5.41.
India secured victories against Ireland, Pakistan, and the USA in the group stage. Their final fixture against Canada was abandoned due to a wet outfield. With seven points, the Rohit Sharma-led side finished as the table-toppers of Group A.
On the batting front, Pandya has batted just once, where he scored seven runs off 12 balls against Pakistan.
