A jersey-seller outside Narendra Modi Stadium made a stunning claim about Team India all-rounder Hardik Pandya ahead of the third ODI against England on February 12, Wednesday. With the seller holding a jersey of Rohit Sharma, he responded to a question whether local boy Pandya's is not so much in demand, he surprisingly claimed 'Koi bhaav nahin deta hai' (No one cares).
Although the 31-year-old hasn't got much opportunities to bat in the two ODIs against England, he played a vital role in India's preceding T20I series victory. The quick-fire 53 in the fourth T20I in Pune helped the Men in Blue seal the series and it came after the all-rounder received criticism for his sluggish 40 in the previous game.
With a fan asking a seller whether Rohit Sharma's jersey is more in demand, another jumped in and said both Rohit's and Virat Kohli's are in massive demand. He also claimed that Pandya's and Shubman Gill's jerseys are hardly in demand. Below is the video of the same:
Rohit Sharma finds form to propel India to 2-0 lead
Meanwhile, Rohit finally found form after a prolonged lean patch as he scored a blazing hundred against England in the second ODI in Cuttack on Sunday. The 37-year-old's fifty came off only 32 balls and needed only 76 deliveries to get to the three-figure mark.
Liam Livingstone eventually got the better of him for 119 and could not stay till the end to see the hosts over the line. However, India won comfortably in the end to seal the series.
