After winning the T20 World Cup, Hardik Pandya played his first match and he failed. Pandya could score only 9 runs in 10 balls against Sri Lanka in Pallekele. The big thing is that the pitch was excellent for batting but this player proved unsuccessful. Hardik Pandya's wicket was taken by Mathish Pathirana. Pathirana's excellent ball took Pandya's wicket. The amazing thing is that this ball of Pathirana was at the speed of 151 km per hour. By the way, before Pandya's wicket, an interesting thing was seen which is important for every fan to know.

Surya explained to Pandya

Hardik Pandya stepped on the crease in the 14th over. He came to the crease after the wicket of captain Suryakumar Yadav fell. When he was going to the crease, Suryakumar Yadav stopped him and said something. He was seen explaining something to him for about 10 seconds. It seemed that Surya had asked Pandya to stay on the wicket till the end but it could not happen. Pandya tried and took time to take his innings forward. But when the opportunity came to play big shots, Pandya was bowled out for 9 runs.

Pandya looked angry with himself

By the way, when Pandya lost his wicket, he looked very angry with himself. After getting bowled, he was seen cursing himself. It seemed as if he was asking himself what he had done. Pandya is not seen like this after getting out, but in Pallekele, he was disappointed with himself. Let us tell you that this series is important for Pandya because somewhere he would want to prove to the Indian selectors that he is fit on every front. Anyway, there are still two matches left in the series. It remains to be seen what he does next.
