Hardik Pandya put in an all-round show against England in the third ODI in Manchester. The 28-year-old chose the perfect match to rise to the occasion as he picked up four wickets and also notched a half-century to become only the second Indian player to achieve this feat after Yuvraj Singh in ODI cricket.
Pandya was looking threatening as India were inching toward a historic ODI series win however, Ben Stokes had other ideas. The Englishman completed a diving catch to put an abrupt end to the Indian all-rounder's inning.
The video of Ben Stokes' diving catch to dismiss Hardik Pandya is going viral on social media.
