Earlier in the day, even former India player and commentator Sanjay asked the crowd to behave and give a big applause for Hardik Pandya after the toss.

However, Pandya showed his batting prowess and thought to win this game to win the hearts of the fans, but it did not work out as Hardik played well due to lack of support from his teammates they failed the game for the third time too.
