Shubman Gill gave an update on Hardik Pandya's comeback in a Times of India report published on 2026-11-03 about India vs New Zealand, saying 'Hopefully he plays some domestic'.
Pandya has not played for the Indian team since the 2026 T20 World Cup final and has missed several international matches because of fitness concerns, including tours of Ireland and England.
Gill, described in the report as captain, stressed Pandya's importance for strengthening India's batting order, and said team management is in regular contact with Pandya about his fitness and recovery plans.
