Hardik Pandya Abused Rohit Sharma: The Indian team won the series by defeating England in the second T20. Team India defeated the hosts by 49 runs in the second match on Saturday (July 9). During this match, Team India's star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been accused of abusing captain Rohit Sharma.
This allegation has been made by users on social media. Due to this, Hardik, who captained Gujarat Titans in IPL, is also being trolled on Twitter. A video of the second T20 match is going viral on Twitter. It is being claimed that Hardik Pandya's voice is in the video and it was heard that Hardik Pandya is abusing someone. The stump mic has recorded it. This incident is from the time when the English team was chasing the target of 171 runs from the Indian team. Hardik was doing the fourth over in England's innings.
David Malan and Liam Livingstone were at the crease in the fourth over. Malan scored eight and Livingstone made 15. It is claimed that Pandya’s voice was caught from the stump mic, and it seemed like he was giving one of his teammates an earful. And strangely, the video clip, along with the hashtag #HardikabusedRohit was trending on Twitter.
The video shows an overall view of the Edgbaston ground during an over-break, with the Indian all-rounder’s voice in the background. He was heard asking a teammate, seemingly angry, to focus on him when he is bowling rather than on others on the field. There have been over 3100 tweets with that hashtag, and many fans deemed that it was Pandya telling off his captain, Rohit Sharma.
India bundled out England for 121 runs: India scored 170 for eight in 20 overs thanks to an unbeaten 46 from Ravindra Jadeja. In reply, the entire team of England was reduced to 121 runs in 17 overs. In front of the lethal bowling of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal, England's batsmen failed.
Bhuvneshwar took three wickets. At the same time, Bumrah and Chahal got two wickets each. Bhuvneshwar was also given the Player of the Match award.
With this win, Team India has taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series. India won the fourth consecutive T20I series in England.
Earlier, he won the series 3-2 in 2021, 2-1 in 2018 and 2-1 in 2017. At the same time, as captain, Rohit Sharma won 14 consecutive T20 Internationals. He is the first captain in the world to do so.
