Hardik Pandya bowls the ball to a helpless Jos Buttler as the batsman falls during the Kolkata T20I
Indian cricket team all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been having trouble with the ball in the ongoing match against England cricket team. The first game in series between teams is held at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Hardik Pandya, who is playing his first match for India after the South Africa series, had a difficult outing with the ball. The all-rounder took the new ball with him Arshdeep Singh but he was cleared immediately at the start when he started to attack.
England cricket team captain Jos Buttler specifically criticized Hardik Pandya for running. The batting wicketkeeper in the 4th over was an all-rounder for the Indian national cricket team as he attacked him for a flurry of boundaries all over the park.
Pandya also vented his frustration during the same over. On the 3rd ball of the over, the all-rounder delivered a ball to which Jos Buttler returned the ball. The Indian players collected the ball in his follow-up on the rebound.
It looked like he would get back to his run but that was not the case as Hardik Pandya came up with an underarm throw. Due to this, the captain of the English cricket team fell to the ground, and the video went viral on the Internet.
