Hardik Pandya faced severe criticism from the Indian cricket fans after his bizarre run out on the Day 3 of Centurian Test.
During the 1st Innings, Pandya called for a single but he was sent back by Kohli as it's a bit risky. It appeared like Pandya was comfortably back into the crease when the throw of South African fielder helped the ball hit the stumps. Whereas, Replays showed Pandya hasn't dragged his bat across the line and eventually gifted his wicket. This run out eventually hurt the chances of India to obtain a decent lead in the first innings.
Sunil Gavaskar who was in the commentary box opined what has Pandya done is 'unforgivable'. Several funny memes based on the run out have surfaced on Twitter since then - 'Today Hardik Pandya proved he is more dumber than Alia Bhatt' & 'Hardik Pandya: Bats in style, Bowls in style, Fields in style, And gets run out in style as well'.
