Hardik Pandya hits back after drawing criticism over a fake tweet

Hardik Pandya was the sole batsman in yesterday's game, who fought like a warrior alone and made everyone sit for the match again.

We all saw the ‘disastrous’ moment when Hardik Pandya got run out during the final match of the ICC Champions Trophy between India and Pakistan. Panday got out when all the main batsmen of the Indian cricket team had went back to the pavilion in the early overs and everyone thought the match was over. However, it was Hardik Pandya who gave Indian fans a sigh of relief by smashing 76 runs off just 43 balls.

Hardik Pandya was the sole batsman in yesterday’s game, who fought like a warrior alone and made everyone sit for the match again. But all his efforts went in vain when Hardik too had to return pavilion for the mistake of Ravindra Jadeja.

Soon after he was out and returned in super angry mode, a screengrab of a particular tweet claiming to be from Pandya’s official account went viral on social media.

A user named @vanillawallah photoshopped a tweet and said that it was Hardik Pandya’s. Surprisingly, his caption read, “Hardik Pandya tweeted this and then deleted it. I am dead.”

Hardik Pandya had actually tweeted this:
