Hardik put just one over Hardik Pandya bowling with a new ball in this Asia Cup for the Indian team. He has put the first over in almost every match. Hardik also put the first over in this match against Sri Lanka. He also took a big wicket of Kusal Mendis in this over. However, after this Hardik did not hit a single over in the entire match. Sri Lankan batsmen kept batting explosive but captain Suryakumar Yadav did not bring Hardik.
Hardik Pandya went out of the ground only after putting the first over of Sri Lanka’s innings. Rinku Singh came for fielding in his place. Hardik did not come back after this and that is why Rinku also fielded during the super over and caught a catch.

Arshadeep has performed brilliantly for India and his IPL franchise. His confidence is seen in his bowling. Arshadeep was the first choice for me for the super over.
Sri Lankan captain admitted- India’s spinners changed the game Sri Lankan captain Charith Asanka said that India’s spinners Varun Chakraborty and Kuldeep Yadav changed the attitude of the game. He said, ‘It was a great match. We were in the game, but Varun and Kuldeep’s bowling put us in trouble.
