1st T20I: I Put The Nation First, That’s My Biggest USP, Says Pandya
T20 World Cup: India all-rounder Hardik Pandya was the star of the show in the team’s 101-run win over South Africa on Tuesday here at the Barabati Stadium, and he said that he felt satisfied that his hard work paid off. The Men in Blue put on a dominating performance and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match T20I series to kick off their T20 World Cup preparations on a high.
When all other batters struggled to play a big innings, Pandya notched up an unbeaten 59 off just 28 deliveries to take the team’s scoreboard to 175/6 at the end of the first innings.
What followed was sheer dominance by the Indian bowlers as they restricted the visitors to a mere 74, securing a victory by a substantial margin. Pandya also contributed with the ball, taking a wicket off his very first delivery in the game. He was recognised for his brave efforts and was named the Player of the Match.
