In the third Twenty20 International, played in Guyana, India defeated West Indies by seven wickets to make the score 2-1 with two more matches remaining. West Indies had an excellent opportunity to win the series before to the USA leg since they needed to defeat India to establish a commanding 3-0 lead. However, the tourists’ pursuit of 160 was aided by brilliant knocks from Suryakumar Yadav (83 off 44) and Tilak Varma (49* off 37). Hardik Pandya, India’s captain, eventually led his team to victory with a six off Rovman Powell to wrap up play.
Hardik Pandya, who played sparingly in the first two T20Is, worked on his pull shots with batting coach Vikram Rathour prior to the third match. Unluckily, one of his pulls struck a little fan seated in a nearby stand on the chin after crossing the nets. The magical all-rounder expressed worry for the girl and requested that the BCCI medical staff make sure she is okay.
Hardik Pandya additionally requested the fan to remain after the game because he was going to give her something special.
The 29-year-old maintained his word and gave the fan a personalized match ball after finishing his interview at the post-game awards ceremony. Hardik was still wearing his protective gear despite recently ending the game with a devastating blow. The seasoned player leaped to the stand where the girl was positioned, handed her the autographed ball, and then waved goodbye to her before leaving. After receiving a special memento from her favorite athlete, the young female fan was quite happy. Hardik’s kind act has touched fans’ hearts online, and incidents like this are what make sports unique.
The final two T20Is of the series will be played in the USA between India and the West Indies. On Saturday, August 12, in Florida, the fourth game will take place.
