WATCH: Hardik Pandya wins hearts; hands over cap to starstruck fan ahead of 2nd ODI vs ENG

India's star all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, made a fan's day by giving him his cap. The video is reportedly from Nagpur when India clash against England in the first match of the three-match ODI series. 

Initially, he threw the cap toward the fan from the dressing room, but it landed elsewhere. Realizing this, Pandya stepped out of the room to personally ensure the fan received it. 

It was a heartwarming gesture from the cricketer, who went the extra mile to bring joy to his supporters. A large crowd gathered around the stadium as the players practiced before the game.

In the first ODI, India beat England by four wickets, thanks to Shubman Gill, who scored 87 runs. Even Axar Patel and Shreyas Iyer gave their best in the game. However, Rohit Sharma failed to score runs in the previous game, raising concerns regarding his form. The upcoming two games will be extremely important for Rohit and Virat Kohli as well, who will be back in the second game. 

What will they do with the bowling unit?: Aakash Chopra

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra spoke about India's bowling unit and questioned the management about why they aren't including Arshdeep Singh in the series. India brought in Harshit Rana, who bowled beautifully throughout the game but was leaked a lot of runs as well. 

"What will they do with the bowling unit? It seems like they are getting used to living life without Bumrah. That's why they got Harshit Rana to make his debut as he is ahead of (Mohammed) Siraj in the race. So if Harshit and Shami are playing, they should wish to play Arshdeep also sometime. When will you play Arshdeep Singh?" said Aakash Chopra.
