Turning the clock back to three years, on the same day, the all-rounder Hardik Pandya made his ODI debut for India thus giving hope for the Indian National Cricket Team to solve their issues of having a fast-bowling all-rounder in the team. Now, after three years, the flamboyant all-rounder proved that the selectors were right in giving him the national cap.

Recollecting those memories, the right-handed all-rounder Hardik Pandya has shared an image from his debut. The picture displays Hardik Pandya collecting his maiden cap from the former Indian all-rounder Kapil Dev. It was in Dharamsala when New Zealand toured India in 2016.
