As India took on England in the first T20I of the five-match series, Indian players looked in all sort of frustration and demise as they were completely outplayed by England. A video has surfaced online wherein Hardik Pandya, the Indian all-rounder is seen asking the fans to return the ball in frustration and anger.

The visitors crushed all hopes of the Indian cricket team as they asserted a lot of pressure on team India from the first go. The Indian team looked out of shape throughout the game, except for a couple of players. Shreyas Iyer seemed to be the lone warrior for the men in blue as he smashed a gritty half-century.
