IND vs ENG, 1st ODI: Emotional Krunal Pandya broke down after putting Fifty Fifty on debut. The clock

Krunal Pandya failed to control his emotions after an unbeaten 58-run storm in his One Day International (ODI) against England in Pune on Tuesday. After helping India fight a total of 317 for five of their allotted 50 overs, Krunal was asked to speak a word about his performance off the bat with commentators. Former India cricketer Murali Karthik, now a commentator, asked him about his feelings but the Baroda all-rounder did not find words to express himself and broke down.

Krunal and Hardik lost their father in January this year.

Hardik was then seen comforting his brother.

In the match, Krunal came to bat in a difficult period with India and scored 205 runs for five wickets in less than 10 overs.

Krunal and KL Rahul handled the proceedings and played an unbeaten innings of 112 runs for the sixth wicket.

In the process, Krunal became the fastest batsman to score a half-century on his ODI debut.

He reached the milestone in just 26 balls. KL Rahul, struggling for runs in the T20Is against England, regained his form and remained unbeaten on 62 runs.

Promoted

For England, Ben Stokes was one of the bowlers, as he took three wickets for 34 runs in his eight-over spell.

Mark Wood also took a few wickets.
