In the T20 World Cup, Pandya's performance was noteworthy. He scored 144 runs in six innings with an average of 48.00 and a strike rate of 151.57, including a half-century. On the bowling side, he took 11 wickets in eight games, averaging 17.36 and an economy rate of 7.64, with best figures of 3/20.

The tournament served as a redemption for Pandya, who had faced significant criticism during the IPL 2024 after taking over as captain of

Mumbai Indians from five-time IPL champion Rohit Sharma. Coming back from an ankle injury during the 50-over World Cup, Pandya received online trolling and fan backlash.
India ended their 11-year ICC trophy drought with a seven-run win over South Africa in the final at Barbados on June 29.
Pandya's journey exemplifies resilience and perseverance. His on-field performances continue to inspire fans and teammates, celebrating his remarkable comeback.
