Indian national cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya had a tough time with the ball in the ongoing match against England national cricket team. The first match of series between those TEAMS is held at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Hardik Pandya, who is playing his first game for India after the South Africa series, had a tough outing with the ball. The all-rounder took the new ball along with Arshdeep Singh but he was taken to the cleaners right from the start when he went on the attack.
Hardik Pandya, in particular, was wronged for runs by England national cricket team skipper Jos Buttler. The wicketkeeper-batsman in the 4th over was all over the Indian national cricket team as he slammed it for the flurry of boundaries all over the park.
Pandya also vented his frustration during the same period. On the 3rd ball of the over, the all-rounder bowled a delivery which Jos Buttler flicked back to the bowler. The Indian players collected the ball in his continuation on the bounce.
It looked like he would go back to the run but that was not the case as Hardik Pandya came up with the underarm throw. This made the England national cricket team captain fall to the ground and the video went viral on the internet.
