Hardik Pandya Slammed For Refusing India Star A Single: "Could Have Shown..."

Former batter Ambati Rayudu has criticised all-rounder Hardik Pandya for not backing youngster Dhruv Jurel during India's loss to England in the third T20I on Tuesday. For the unversed, Hardik refused to take a single on final ball of the 18th over after Jurel hit Jofra Archer's delivery to deep square leg.
