Hardik Pandya's 'No-Look Six' To Slam Half-Century In 27 Balls vs England Goes Viral. Internet Says 'India's Greatest...'
Hardik Pandya's role in the Indian team is unlike anybody. The kind of balance that he brings to the side is something that no other player has been able to do in recent times. On Friday, Hardik Pandya's breathtaking blows and comeback man Shivam Dube's belligerence took India to a par-score of 181 for 9 after the top-order failed to negotiate the short of length deliveries bowled by England pacers in the fourth T20 International in on Friday.

Towards the end, the six that Pandya hit off Jamie Overton to complete his half-century went viral.

He got an able ally in Dube, who hit seven fours and two sixes as India got as many as 109 runs in the back-10.
Mahmood, playing his first game of the series, struck thrice in his first over and all three
