Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya’s Celebratory Moment Delights Fans in T20 World Cup Clash
Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya shared an endearing celebratory moment during a thrilling T20 World Cup 2024 encounter held at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, capturing the hearts of fans.
The wholesome bond between these two star cricketers came into full display as they hugged each other jubilantly following Hardik Pandya’s crucial wicket of Shadab Khan in the 17th over of the match.
Speculation of potential discord between the players, arising from their time together at the Mumbai Indians during the Indian Premier League (IPL), was put to rest by this heartfelt display of camaraderie.
India seized a pivotal breakthrough from Hardik Pandya’s bowling against Pakistan, when Shadab Khan encountered difficulties and could only manage a top-edge off a bouncer. Rishabh Pant made no mistake as he safely pouched the catch, propelling India to a commanding position with Pakistan at 88 for 5 in the 16.3 overs of their chase of 120.
Pandya faced a minor setback earlier in the day as he departed after scoring 7 runs off 12 deliveries against Haris Rauf. Nevertheless, he made a strong comeback with the ball, delivering exceptional figures of 4-24-2 at a crucial juncture of the match. His dismissal of Fakhar Zaman, who scored a quick 13 off 8 balls, was equally significant for the Indian team’s fortunes.
