T20 World Cup: More trouble for India & Hardik Pandya, taken for scans after being hit on shoulder vs Pakistan
T20 World Cup – Hardik Pandya taken for Scans: Pandya managed to score 11 runs with the bat as India was sent into bat first. India skipper Virat Kohli once again showed what it takes to be a big match player as he hit a quality 57 to take India to a respectable 151/7 in their 20 overs against Pakistan in their opening game of the ICC T20 World Cup.
Put into bat, India got off to the worst start possible as it was once again a left-arm pacer who came in to haunt the Indian top order after Mohammad Amir had rocked the lineup in the 2017 Champions Trophy final. Shaheen Shah Afridi got the better of Rohit Sharma (0) and KL Rahul (3) and the Men in Blue were reduced to 6/2 in the third over. Suryakumar Yadav then joined skipper Virat Kohli in the middle and the hopes were high from them.
Both batters put on a brief 25-run stand for the third wicket, but as soon as the innings started streamlining for India, Hasan Ali dismissed Suryakumar (11), leaving the Men in Blue at 31/3. Rishabh Pant then came together with Virat and at the halfway mark, India’s score read 60/3.
Pant changed the tempo of India’s innings with two sixes in the 12th over bowled by Hasan Ali and the Men in Blue started to gain some momentum. However, Pant went for a shot too many and he perished off the bowling of Shadab Khan after playing a knock of 39, reducing India to 84/4 in the 13th over.
