Narendra Modi Stadium: India all-rounder Hardik Pandya capped off a memorable T20I series against South Africa with a stunning display of power-hitting and a touching gesture of sportsmanship during the fifth and final match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, as he checked on the cameraman after one of his sixes bruised the latter’s shoulder.
Continuing his rich vein of form, Pandya smashed 63 runs from just 25 deliveries, peppering the stands with five towering sixes as India piled pressure on the visitors. One of those strikes, however, led to an unexpected moment when the ball crashed into a cameraman stationed near the boundary.
The cameraman escaped with just a bruise, and the incident prompted an immediate and heartfelt response from Pandya. Once the Indian innings concluded, the 30-year-old walked over to the boundary to personally check on the cameraperson.
