Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya won a $100,000 baseball challenge featured in a video by YouTuber MrBeast. Despite having no prior experience with the sport, Pandya successfully completed the home-run challenge by hitting three balls out of the stadium.

Following his victory, Pandya decided to donate the entire prize amount, approximately 95 lakh Indian rupees, to charity. The funds are reportedly being distributed to organizations focused on animal welfare and supporting underprivileged children, including ADAPT and Community Streeties India.

The video, titled ‘Beat LeBron, Win $100,000’, also featured other high-profile athletes and personalities, including LeBron James, Simone Biles, and Indian YouTuber CarryMinati. Pandya, who has been sidelined from competitive international cricket due to a calf injury, is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
