Hindustan Times  

Hardik Pandya dropped an easy chance of Ben Stokes which attracted some interesting reactions from Indian cricketers including captain Virat Kohli and also the ones sitting in the dugout during India vs England 3rd and final ODI in Pune. The reaction of Virat Kohli and India dugout after Hardik Pandya dropped Ben Stokes It happened in the 5th over of England’s chase when a Bhuvneshwar Kumar knuckle ball foxed Ben Stokes, who went ahead with his shot early and ended up spooning it. Earlier, Rishabh Pant scored his second successive half century to top score with 78 while Shikhar Dhawan and Hardik Pandya also made useful contributions before India lost its way and was dismissed in 48.2 overs, losing the last four wickets for eight runs in 15 balls. Stand-in captain Jos Buttler plucked a brilliant left-handed catch off Pant behind the wicket off Curran’s full-pitched delivery and Pandya had shuffled too far across allowing Ben Stokes to clean bowl him round the legs.
