Hardik Pandya made a blunder, Team India, riding on the chariot of victory, got defeated
Hardik Pandya India vs South Africa: Two matches have been played so far in the four-match T20 series being played between India and South Africa. The Indian team had taken the lead by winning the first match of the series, but in the second match, South Africa made a comeback and leveled the series. Meanwhile, the Indian team was once on the verge of victory, but Hardik Pandya committed a blunder which proved costly later. Now there is a discussion on social media about why Hardik did this last time. Now India will have to win both the remaining matches of the series, only then the series will be won.
Suryakumar Yadav lost the toss in both the matches of the T20 series being played against South Africa. After this India had to come to bat first. In the first match, India batted first and scored more than 200 and won the match, but got stuck in the second match. In the second match, Team India was behind from the beginning. After the dismissal of Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma, not much score was being scored, but still it was believed that the Indian team would score at least 150 runs. But this could not happen. Hardik Pandya was also the reason behind this.
Team India had a chance to reach the score of 150.
In fact, till 18 overs, Team India had scored 115 runs at the loss of 6 wickets. There were two overs left and Arshdeep Singh was at the crease with Hardik Pandya. There were 12 balls left, it was expected that Hardik would show his talent in the remaining overs. Arshdeep also took a single on the second ball of the 19th over and gave the strike to Hardik. Before playing the third ball of the over, Hardik also told Arshdeep that now he should stand at the other end and enjoy the match.
Only 6 runs scored in the last over
Hardik could not hit a single boundary on the four balls bowled in that over. After this, if Hardik had hit four-five boundaries in the last i.e. 20th over, the job would have been done. But Hardik hit only one four on the last ball of the innings. Meanwhile, two of his catches also dropped in the same over. After playing the entire over i.e. 6 balls, only 6 runs were scored in this over and Team India missed out on making a big score. The Indian team could score only 124 runs and South Africa won the match with one over remaining.
