Hardik’s influence came in important stages of the match, which began with big wickets from Nicholas Goran (12), LSG captain Rishabh Pant (2) and Eden Markram (53) during the mid -over to break the speed after LSG’s explosive start.
He returned to the final over with LSG, who was looking at 200. David Miller, who completed 3000 IPL runs, made Hardik a hammer for a six and four, but was trying to grow up the next ball again. Pandya then rejected Akash from the next delivery, finishing the innings with a back-to-back wicket and scored just three runs in the last three balls.
