Costly six: Hardik Pandya's meaty blow to the stand strucks Team India fan on the jaw

Bengaluru: Team India all-rounder Hardik Pandya has garnered praises all around the world for his attacking prowess with the bat. Having already displayed that in the current series vs Australia, the 23-year-old once again treated fans at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium with three monstrous blows during his 41-run innings during the 4th ODI.

While the crowd did enjoy his ruthless six-hitting ability against the Aussie spinners, it was a moment to forget for one of the fans named Tosit Agarwal.

Placed in the P1 Stand, Agarwal was enjoying the moment when one of Pandya’s six struck him right on the jaw.

Agarwal was trying to avoid the ball, but couldn’t estimate its speed and reacted before it was too late. The spectator was soon shifted to the stadium’s first aid room soon and was then transferred to the HOSMAT hospital for further treatment.

On Sunday, Virat Kohli’s men replied with a bang and capped off the series with a 4-1 win over Australia, in the 5th and final ODI thanks to Rohit Sharma’s mesmerizing ton.
