Career overview
How the India career developed.
This overview connects role, debuts and format context using the dated records listed below.
Hardik Pandya made his T20I debut in January 2016 and became a seam-bowling all-rounder who could balance India’s limited-overs line-up. His role combines middle-order power with pace bowling rather than treating either discipline as incidental.
He played 11 Tests before back problems redirected his international workload toward white-ball cricket. In T20Is, the checked March 2026 record lists 2,288 runs and 114 wickets across 138 matches.
Pandya delivered the final over of India’s 2024 T20 World Cup victory and was also part of the 2025 Champions Trophy-winning side. The page keeps those tournament milestones separate from franchise cricket.

International statistics
Tests, ODIs and T20Is separated.
Career totals use the latest match date shown by the checked player record. Formats may have different snapshot dates.
| Format | Matches | Runs | 100s | 50s | Wickets | Through |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tests | 11 | 532 | 1 | 4 | 17 | 30 Aug 2018 |
| ODIs | 94 | 1,904 | 0 | 11 | 91 | 9 Mar 2025 |
| T20Is | 138 | 2,288 | 0 | 9 | 114 | 8 Mar 2026 |
These are format-specific snapshots, not one combined career number. A format without a debut is stated plainly instead of displaying a misleading zero-match career.
