Krunal Pandya, who is the elder brother of Hardik Pandya took to Instagram to praise his sibling over a magnificent spell in the third Test match against England. Hardik Pandya bowled a breathtaking spell in the first inning of the third Test match at Trent Bridge for India.
He posted the video of Hardik Pandya with an emotional captain. The caption of the video reads:
“✋ wickets!!! You keep getting better day by day, and I keep running out of words to praise you day by day. Well done, Bhai!!! @hardikpandya93”
During the England innings, the India skipper, Virat Kohli handed over the ball to the fast bowling all-rounder in 26th over.
Pandya soon justified the call when he removed England skipper, Joe Root on the first ball of his spell. Joe Root guided the ball towards the second slip where KL Rahul completed a stunning catch.
Hardik Pandya bamboozled England
Hardik Pandya then bamboozled the middle-order of England entirely and left them helpless. He bowled a spell of six overs that included a maiden and five wickets while leaking 28 runs.
With the help of his fierce spell, India bowled out England for 161 with the Jos Buttler being the top scorer with 39.
Earlier, India posted a total of 329 on the board. Virat Kohli once again found himself among the top run-getters. He fell just short of three runs to complete his second ton on tour. Luckily, Ajinkya Rahane found his form back as well as scored much-needed 81.
With the bat, Hardik Pandya scored 18 with the help of four boundaries after turning the victim of James Anderson. India found themselves in the driver’s seat after outclassing the hosts in all departments at stumps on day two.
