As Sri Lanka’s first innings of the first ODI against India has come to an end with Chamika Karunaratne pushing the hosts to a competitive 262 in 50 overs, netizens on Twitter are loving Krunal Pandya’s bear hug. India’s limited-over series against Sri Lanka kickstarted on Sunday with Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav getting their debut caps.
With not much swing at the dry pitch of Colombo, Team India’s famous spin duo ‘KulCha’ Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal came into the groove and choked Sri Lanka in the middle-overs. Apart from Chahal and Kuldeep, Krunal Pandya turned out to be the third spin option of skipper Shikhar Dhawan. Although Krunal Pandya proved economical for Team India, netizens are impressed with the spinner’s warm gesture while bowling.
Bowling the 22nd over of the match, Krunal Pandya tossed up to striker Dhananjaya de Silva which he hit straight to him. Krunal Pandya leaped to keep Dhananjaya on the strike, he almost collided during his dive with the non-striker Charith Asalanka. However, what happened next won many hearts on social media as Krunal Pandya stood up hugged Charith Asalanka.
