Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya had a rough day in the field during the third and final ODI against England at Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium on Sunday. The Mumbai Indians star dropped Ben Stokes off Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s bowling early in the chase before dropping the dangerous Sam Curran later in the chase.

While Curran went on to register his maiden fifty in the format and keep England’s losing cause alive, Stokes was unable to make the most of his second life, getting caught by Shikhar Dhawan at deep mid-wicket off T Natarajan.

Pandya was a releived man following Stokes’ dismissal, with the Englishman a destrcutive force when he’s on song, as he was in the second ODI on Friday. 

Here’s Pandya’s hilarious reaction following Dhawan’s catch:

Pandya bowed down on all fours in appreciation of the dismissal, and his reaction has gone viral on social media. 

Pandya (64) played a key innings as India set an imposing 330-run target, adding 99 runs for the fifth wicket along with top-scorer Rishabh Pant (78). 

In reply, England got off to a stuttering start, losing Jason Roy (14), Jonny Bairstow (1) and Stokes (35) in the first 11 overs.
