Meanwhile, Pandya’s good friends, Yuzvendra Chahal and India’s tennis star, Sania Mirza congratulated Hardik Pandya for his exceptional effort at Trentbridge on day two of the third Test.

Hardik Pandya’s spell changed the course of the game:

Hardik Pandya finished with sensational figures of 5/28 in his six overs spell.

However, the experienced campaigner Ishant Sharma gave the first breakthrough by getting the edge of Alastair Cook. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah got rid of Keaton Jennings while Ishant once again got Ollie Pope.

Then started the magical spell by Hardik Pandya. He took Joe Root right on his first delivery then accounted for the wickets of Jonny Bairstow, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid and Stuart Broad to finish his maiden five-for in Tests.

All in all, it was a perfect day for the India all-rounder to make a note of the date on his diary. It would be interesting to see how he carries hereon.
