The whole nation erupted in joy when India came up with an all-round performance to defeat arch-rivals Pakistan by 124 runs in a one-sided ICC Champions Trophy 2017 encounter at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground on Sunday. And along with Yuvraj Singh, the other man who won the hearts of millions of Indian is Hardik Pandya, with his three towering sixes. After the match, captain revealed why he sent Hardik before Dhoni.
“It was unbelievable the way he came out. We switched in the end, they asked whether we should send Hardik ahead of MS and everyone agreed because he can just strike the ball from ball one, unbelievable ability so I think those three sixes and a boundary was probably a little bit of difference as well in the end,” revealed Virat Kohli.
