However,, Hardik Pandya who was batting📖 with him denied taking a double and the ace batter was seen fuming in anger at his batting partner.

Have a word

I like the confidence of Hardik but sometimes He goes over the board. You ca♏n't deny an easy double for your partner. What's the point of having that level of fitness? Maybe Kohli or someone needs to have a word with him.
