One of the coldest reactions in the history of the game came from the smartest and most talented player in the Indian team, Hardik Pandya. He hit an upper cut off Taskin Ahmed's delivery which went for a six. But the best part about the whole scene was Hardik's cold reaction after hitting the shot. He didn't even look back to check whether the ball went in the correct direction or not.
He simply stood there and had a calm yet different look on his face. It felt more like a slap on the selectors' face for taking away the captaincy from the most deserving player of the team. Pandya's reaction expressed his inner feelings quite appropriately as he just went on to thrash the bowler.
With the brilliant batting, he finished the game in the same over. He went on to hit 39 runs off 16 balls including five boundaries and two huge sixes. In the last over India scored 16 runs out of which 15 were hit by Hardik. Nitish Reddy's anchoring role was quite effective as the batter scored 16 runs off 15 balls. It was a clinical win for the Men in Blue and they'll hope to continue with the same results in the upcoming games.
