Hardik could only manage 18 runs off 13 balls before getting out hit wicket.
Mumbai Indians (MI) all-rounder Hardik Pandya had an unfortunate dismissal against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Wednesday. Batting on 18, he went deep inside the crease and before he could connect with the ball, he managed to hit the stumps with his bat.
It was a bizzare dismissal as the ball was pretty wide to be played actually, but still Hardik wnet after it and hit his stumps instead, this meant that social media had a field day at his expense. Memes flooded Twitter and fans remembered Pandya's 'Koffee With Karan' controversy which was no less than a hit-wicket to his career.
