India all-rounder Krunal Pandya could not hold back his tears afಞter smashing the fastest fifty by an ♌ODI debutant.
During the first ODI against England in Pune on Tuesday, Krunal slammed an unbeaten 58 off 31 balls, helping Indi💜a post a fighting total of 317/5 from their allotted 50 overs.
In the mid-innings break, former India cricketer Murali Kartik, now a commentator, asked Krunal about his performance, but the left-hander couldn’t find words to express himself and broke down.
Krunal and Hardik Pandya lost their father in Janua⭕ry this year after a cardiac arrest. Hardik was seen consoling his elder brother after this incident.
