Hardik vs Krunal: Watch who wins the battle between Pandya brothers?

The first T20I between India and South Africa will be played in Dharamsala on September 15.

New Delhi: Ahead of the first T20I against South Africa, India all-rounder Hardik Pandya practised hard in the nets and smashed his brother Krunal Pandya's deliveries out of the park on Wednesday.

"Pandya vs Pandya in training. I think I won that round big bro @krunalpandya24 P.S: Sorry for almost knocking your head off," Hardik tweeted.

On the other hand, spin bowling all-rounder Krunal, Hardik's elder brother, played in the T20I series against West Indies after his promising performance for the India A side.
