Internet lauds Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya after duo helps India seal series against England

By: Sports DeskJuly 17, 2022 11:56:15 pm

As the curtain fell on the India vs England series on Sunday, Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant came out shining brightly in the 3rd ODI match at Manchester.

Chasing 260 runs, Pant scored his maiden ODI 100 as he remained unbeaten on 125 while his partner Pandya ably supported him with a well-made 71. Pandya was also the wrecker-in-chief of the England innings as his devastating spell of 4/24 restricted England to 259 runs.

While Pant will rightfully be under the spotlight due to his century, which he got by smashing 16 fours and two sixes in his sublime knock at Old Trafford, Hardik’s resilient knock should not be lost under the cacophony.

Twitter, however, erupted for both men as India sealed the series 2-1 as a plethora of reactions rained down from all corners of the internet.

The legendary Sachin Tendulkar was among the firsts to congratulate the duo on Twitter, writing, “Congratulations to #TeamIndia on winning the ODI series. Keep up the good work and continue this form. Special mention to @RishabhPant17 and @hardikpandya7 for a wonderful performance.”

Rishabh Pant has a knack of producing his best innings under pressure. What a time to bring up his first ODI hundred. The move to have him at No. 4 has started paying off…
