Watch: Hardik Pandya hugged bowler after getting dismissed in SMAT 2025

A cute moment between Team India stars Hardik Pandya and Ravi Bishnoi. In a low-scoring match between Baroda and Gujarat in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT 2025) on December 4 at the Gymkhana Ground in Hyderabad, Pandya hugged Bishnoi after getting dismissed.

It was a very high-scoring match between Baroda and Gujarat. Gujarat went to bat first and scored only 73 runs against all of their 10 wickets. Aarya Desai with 22 runs was their highest scorer of the match. For Baroda, Raj Limbani claimed 3 wickets in his 2.1-over spell with a maiden over as well.

Without any such difficulties, Baroda achieved the target total. Against 2 wickets, Baroda got their win in only 6.4 overs. Shashwat Rawat, one of their openers, remained unbeaten for 30 off 19 with six boundaries, and Vishnu Solanki, the other part of the opening pair, scored 27 off 15 with 4 boundaries and one over-boundary. The 55-run opening stand was enough to take the game away from Gujarat.
