Fans on Twitter reacted after Indian skipper Hardik Pandya said that he wants to put the team in difficult situations in bilaterals which will help them in big games. Calling him a brave captain they said that music starts when results go against us, until then let’s go.
“I want to put this team in difficult situations in bilaterals which will help us in big games,” says Hardik Pandya
India displayed a sensational performance in the first game of the T20I series against Sri Lanka in Mumbai that saw them clinch the first game by 2 runs. It’s fair to say that it was bold and courageous captaincy by Hardik Pandya that helped the team take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Asked to bat first, India was off the staggering first over, where they scored 17 runs, they lost wickets in quick succession with Shubman Gill (7), Suryakumar Yadav (7) and Sanju Samson (5) back in the hut for just 46 runs.
However, despite losing their early wickets, Indian batters continued smashing the ball. Ishan Kishan scored a brisk 37 and skipper Pandya chipped in with a 29-run knock. But they both failed to end the innings on high. After that, it was Deepak Hooda (41*) along with Axar Patel (31*), who stitched a crucial 68 runs partnership to help India post a total of 162 runs on the board.
After that Indian pacers were on top of the game as they made Sri Lankan batters look clueless. Shivam Mavi took his side off the flier as he took two quick wickets and then was complimented by Umran Malik and Harshal Patel that saw the visitors tottering at 68/5.
Dasun Shanaka (45 ) and Wanindu Hasaranga (21) gave India a scare and the game went down the wire with visitors needing just 13 runs in the final over. In what turned out to be a masterstroke, Pandya then handed the ball to Axar Patel, who conceded 10 runs and guided his team home.
After the match when Pandya was asked about his decision to give Axar the final over, he said: “I want to put this team in difficult situations in bilaterals which will help us in big games.”
Hardik Pandya said "I want to put this team in difficult situations in bilaterals which help us in big games".
