Indian team star all rounder Hardik Pandya is facing allegations of defeating Team India in the third T20. In the match played in Rajkot, India lost by 26 runs to England. After this, Hardik is on the target of fans and former cricketers. Pandya took 2 wickets for his team and also scored the highest 40 runs. Despite this, why are Hardik fans target and why are serious allegations like defeating India? Let's know
The England team scored 171 runs while batting first. Chasing 172 runs, Team India could score 145 runs. Apart from Hardik, no batsman could play a big innings.
But still hearty is on target. In fact, when Team India needed 41 runs in 13 balls (last ball of the 18th over), Dhruwal Jurlel played a shot and he ran for single. Dhrub had run for more than half the pitch, but on the other hand Hardik did not show interest in it and sent him back.Hardik did not take a run and kept the strike for the next over. When the 19th over started, Hardik caught the English captain Jose Butler on the very first ball. One, Hardik did not give a strike to Dhruv Jurael and lost his wicket if he took a strike himself.
People did not like to underestimate Dhruv by Hardik. Dhruv is a wicket -keeper batsman and he has the ability to score runs in any situation, but now the fans are accusing Hardik of over confidence by not giving a strike to Jurlel and being dismissed himself. At the same time, he is blaming him for India's defeat. Because after his dismissal, Team India also lost the wickets of Mohammed Shami and Dhruv Jurlel and the Indian team lost the match by 26 runs.Apart from this, Hardik was also accused of playing slow innings. He was dismissed for 40 runs in 35 balls in this match.
Former cricketer Parthiv Patel said on Star Sports after the match, 'Can't take 20-25 balls to be set. I understand taking your time but you should keep rotating the strike. Hardik may have scored 40 runs in 35 balls, but at the beginning of the innings, he played a lot of dot ball.At the same time, Ambati Rayudu also targeted Hardik. Ambati expressed disappointment over Pandya not being given a strike to Dhruv. He said, 'I do not understand why Hardik Pandya did not give a strike to Dhruv Jurlel.
Dhruv has been selected to bat for India '. Dhruv has been selected to bat for India '.
