Hardik Pandya India vs South Africa: The four-match T20 series between India and South Africa has featured two matches so far. India took the lead in the first game but in the second game, South Africa came back to level the series. Meanwhile, India were on the brink of victory but Hardik Pandya made a mistake that turned out to be costly. Discussions are now taking place on social media as to why Hardik did what he did last time. Now India has to win the remaining two games of the series and only then can they win the series.
Suryakumar Yadav lost both matches of the T20 series against South Africa. Thereafter, the Indian team has to bat first. In the first game, the Indian team took the lead and scored over 200 runs to win the game, but struggled in the second game. In the second game, India fell behind from the start. Not much was scored after the dismissals of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, but it is still believed that India will score at least 150 runs. But that can’t happen. Hardik Pandya is also the reason behind this.
India had a chance to reach 150 runs.
In fact, before the 18th over, India had scored 115 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. With two overs left, Arshdeep Singh was at the crease with Hardik Pandya. With 12 balls left, Hardik is expected to showcase his talents in the remaining overs. Arshdeep also hit a single off the second ball of the 19th over, handing the ball to Hardik. Before the third ball, Hardik also told Arshdeep that now he should enjoy the game from the other end.
Only 6 points in the final round
Hardik did not hit a single boundary in the four balls he bowled in that over. After this, if Hardik hits a boundary of 4-5 in the last over, i.e. the 20th over, then the mission is accomplished. But Hardik hit just one four off the last ball of the innings. Meanwhile, two of his catches fell in the same over. After playing the entire game, that is, after 6 balls, they only scored 6 points in this round. The Indian team missed the opportunity to score a big score. India scored just 124 runs and South Africa won the match by one run.
