Hardik Pandya's comment on series loss.

The Caribbeans won the first two T20Is to take a 2-0 lead in the series before the Indians came from behind and won consecutive games. The fifth and final T20I between both nations was one of the most anticipated climaxes in Florida. West Indies clinched the T20I series by beating India in the epic encounter. Batting first, Team India posted 165/9 in 20 overs. Suryakumar Yadav top-scored with 61 off 45 deliveries (4 fours and 3 sixes) at a strike rate of 135.56.

On the contrary, Romario Shepherd was the pick of the bowlers for the West Indies as he registered 4/31 in his quota of 4 overs. West Indies were in a spot of bother after losing Kyle Mayers for 10 runs. However, the Men in Maroon showcased a great deal of resistance in the form of Brandon King and Nicholas Pooran.

The duo added a match-winning 105-run liaison for the second wicket before Pooran departed for 47 runs (1 four, 4 sixes). West Indies aced down the target with 2 overs to spare and won the game by 8 wickets. Brandon King top-scored with an unbeaten 85 off 55 balls including 5 fours and 6 maximums.

Hardik Pandya’s reckless remark draws flak after India’s T20I series defeat

Indians have relished a lot of success concerning bilateral events for several years now. Nevertheless, the Caribbeans cut the Indians down to size and had the last laugh in the battle in the five-match T20I series. Both teams took turns outsmarting the other, but in the end, West Indies gave Indians a run for their money. The hosts won the series by 3-2, which is also their first bilateral series win over India since 2016.

After the game, India’s T20I captain, Hardik Pandya came under fire for his irresponsible remark at the post-match presentation. The skipper stated, “Losing is good sometimes, it teaches you”. This very comment triggered the netizens to launch a scathing attack on Hardik Pandya.

They teach youuu..you say you learn but we don't see it so either we are blind or they are not doing what they speak

Hardik has been bizarre as captain in this series. Exactly the opposite he has been in IPL.

— Saif Ahmed 🇧🇩 (@saifahmed75) August 13, 2023

Losing is good this guy is mad or what???

— Ansh Shah (@asmemesss) August 13, 2023

Why does he keep saying this? Losing sometimes is good, but attitude isn't!
