Hardik Pandya Responds West Indies Star By Saying “Let Nicholas Pooran Hit Me”

India began their comeback in the third T20I against the hosts after falling behind the West Indies 0-2 in the series. The fact that Nicholas Pooran, a powerful hitter for the West Indies, was unable to connect during the game was crucial to the Indian team’s victory. Even after the game, India’s captain Hardik Pandya issued a challenge to Pooran, stating he hoped the legendary Windies player would take him on hard in the following match. Finally, Pooran has responded to the challenge.

“Yeah, that was the plan; if Nicky wants to hit, let him hit me. I relish the kind of rivalry where I am aware that any mistakes in line or length favor Nicky. After the third T20I, Hardik had said, “I hope he comes really hard at me and delivers me a wicket as well.

In the fifth T20I, Pooran was instrumental in helping the West Indies win both the game and the series, 3-2. Following the match, Pooran shared an Instagram story that may be seen as a “response” to Hadik.

Pooran’s performance in the 5th T-20 match against India

In the fifth T20I, Pooran scored 47 runs off 35 balls, which was crucial to his team’s victory. Pooran struck Hardik for two sixes in the same over as he was on the crease. Pooran emphasized the two sixes in his Instagram tale as his “response.”

“When I entered, we lost the initiative and were unable to take advantage of the circumstances.” I think we’ll put ourselves to the test. We strive to improve. In retrospect, it’s all right. We don’t need to go into much detail. I am aware of the boys’ dynamics inside the crew. We have time to think things over. Sometimes, it’s wonderful to lose. Positively, we have gained a lot of knowledge.

Hardik: Nothing complicated

“The boys behaved honorably.” They merit praise. They persisted in coming and experimenting. It is a step in the procedure. It is how I am feeling right now. I usually like something that comes to mind when I see a situation. Just my instinct, nothing complicated,” he added.
