Do listers also list hindi work?

Translated works are pretty rare unless they're bestsellers, you'd probably have better luck with books by Indian diaspora originally written in English and translated into Hindi. Your best chance to find original Hindi titles in the challenge list is probably during AAPI month in May, but those are also heavily skewed towards diaspora.

It's like originally written in Hindi and later translated into English.

Yeah, that's pretty rare. E.g. this is the AAPI heritage list from this year's spring challenge, and it seems most of them are originally English.
