“Everyone blaming Arshdeep, but even Hardik gave away 33 runs in 3 overs and scored 21 in 20 balls” – Twitter reacts as Hardik Pandya said Team India gave away 25 runs more than par total

There were a number reasons behind the Indian cricket team’s defeat in the 1st of the 3 match T20 International series against New Zealand, but Hardik Pandya has highlighted one of them.

The Indian cricket team lost the match by 21 runs against the New Zealand cricket team. Batting first, New Zealand put on 176 runs on the board while the Indian team could only score 155 runs in the 20 overs.

After the defeat, the Indian captain Hardik Pandya told the media that they gave 25 runs more than the par score as the big reason behind the defeat.

Meanwhile, Twitterati thinks that this is somehow an indirect indication towards Arshdeep Singh, who gave away 51 runs, 26 of them came in the very last over of New Zealand inning.
