IND vs ENG, 3rd ODI: Hardik Pandya bowled to Shikhar Dhawan after Ben Stokes was out.

Hardik Pandya’s reaction has gone viral on the internet after Shikhar Dhawan got rid of England all-rounder Ben Stokes in the third ODI in Pune. Stokes, who played a match-winning innings of 99 runs in just 52 balls in the second ODI, lost once again in the series decrypt, with Hardik hitting a simple catch off Bhuvneshwar Kumar for a four. However, unlike the last game, where Stokes had paid India heavily, he could not spread the same spell and Dhawan scored a tee. He was caught out in deep-toss off Natarajan’s ball, which caused a strange reaction from India’s all-rounder. After Stokes was dismissed, Hardik sat down on both his knees and bowed to Dhawan to complete the catch as he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chasing a target of 330 to win the series, England failed to get a solid start for the first time in the series as they lost both their openers within the first three overs. In the first over of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jason Roy got off to a flying start and was out for 14, but the Indian bowler had the last laugh as he took his wicket off the last ball.

Promoted

Bairstow, who scored a match-winning century in the last game, failed for the first time in the series as he was lbw ahead of Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

Ben Stokes came to bat once as Hardik was dismissed and got off to a solid start, but could not make much of a living and made 35 off 39 balls, caught within the boundary ropes by Dhawan.
