Hardik Pandya: Team India all-rounder Hardik Pandya received the ‘Impact Player’ medal for his brilliant fielding efforts in the side’s recent Asia Cup clash against Oman on Friday.
The Baroda cricketer displayed some impressive fielding efforts and executed a brilliant catch near the ropes to dismiss the opposition’s opening batter, Aamir Kaleem, who played a noteworthy knock and scored 64 runs off 46 deliveries to mount pressure on the Men in Blue.
Harshit Rana, who made his way into the XI after missing the first two games, bowled an off-cutter on the pads as Kaleem got on his knees looking to sweep it over deep third man, but couldn’t connect the ball as he wished to. Pandya put in a brilliant effort to complete a stunning running catch on the fence.
