“As Surya mentioned, they (SKY and Tilak) play together and spend time together, good to have someone like SKY in the team and when he takes responsibility it sends a message to the others,” Hardik said in the post-match presentation.

Waah re hardik pandya! you idolize Ms Dhoni, and still you did not care to give strike to young Tilak Varma despite being the captain? When he was batting at 49* ? You can never be like him. #HardikPandya #IndvsWi #INDVSWI #BCCI #TilakVarma #SuryakumarYadav
