Former batter Ambati Rayudu has criticized Hardik Pandya for not supporting Youngster Dhruv Jurel during the defeat of India against England in the third T20I on Tuesday. For the not versed, Hardik refused to take a single in the final ball of the 18 after Jurel hit the delivery of Jofra Archer to the deep square leg. While Rayudu praised Hardik for his fighting blow, he felt that the all -terrain veteran could have shown more faith in jurel. Hardik scored above for a 40 of 35 balls, but could not prevent India from suffering a loss of 26 rajkot races.
“It was a good performance because the batting was not so easy and the wickts were falling from the other end. So they walked well their entries. However, when the final touch was required, it could have shown a little faith in Dhruv Jurel,” Rayudu said in Star Sports.
“Even if 25 had been required in the last final, Hardik has the ability to hit that. So I feel that if he had shown a little more confidence in Dhruv Jurel, the game could have been closer. However, the form in He walked through his entries was very encouraging, “he added.
Recapitulating the third T20i of the series of five games, the captain of India, Suryakumar Yadav, won the raffle and chose to play first at the match.

England ended in 171/9, which seemed that it could be slightly under the pair, but its bowling players left the traps, taking wickts regularly without any of the first four of India, which happens more than 24 races.
Pandya impressed with the bat, winning 40, 35, and organizing an association of 38 races with Axar Patel.
But after Buttler caught Pandya from Jamie Overton bowling in the 19th, there was simply too much to queue, finishing the inputs 26 short races.
