Fans lauded the courage shown by Hardik when India felt the need to have another bowler. The regular bowlers were going for runs when skipper Virat Kohli introduced him into the attack.
Pandya bowled four overs and conceded 24 runs with a priceless wicket of Steve Smith. Smith was dismissed on 104 in the 42nd over of the match.
Although Twitterati was worried and shocked after Pandya picked up the ball, they didn't forget to praise the effort from him.
