New Delhi:
In the midst of all the crazy hitting and run-scoring in India’s innings in SuperSport Park in Centurion, India’s middle order was seen struggling in the middle, as Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, Rinku Singh and Hardik Pandya had a quiet outing on the pitch.
After coming in at number five, Hardik Pandya faced 16 deliveries and scored only 18 runs, before falling victim of Keshav Maharaj as he missed one all ends up and was struck on the pad.

As a result Pandya decided to take a referral, but in a strange moment, started walking off the pitch before DRS review was even completed, and in fact even before ball-tracking began to take place on the giant screen.
Pandya watched as the screen confirmed that he had gotten no bat on it, and feeling that he was caught plumb in front since he had not managed to get a thin edge, decided to walk off the field even before needing the TV umpire to send the information to the on-field umpire.
