Hardik Pandya’s all-round performance earned him the man of the match award in the 1st T20 against England. The all-rounder picked career-best 4 wickets and was also handy with the bat as he scored 51. However, he didn’t have the same day in the 2nd T20. First, he could manage to score only 12 runs off 15 balls and then went for 8 runs in his very first over.
Hardik Pandya heard yelling at Indian teammate
Pandya wasn’t pleased after his very first over. The all-rounder caught on stump mic getting angry with one of his teammates. He was even heard saying Hindi cuss words on air. It seemed, the 28-year-old cricketer wasn’t happy as the fielder didn’t move where he told him to move.
Pandya was heard yelling, ‘Mere time mere pe dekh, maa ch***ne gaya wo kya bol raha hai’. Which translates to English; ‘Look at me when I am bowling, don’t care what he speaks’. However, it is not known that on which player he yelled at.
