Sri Lanka’s tour of India will mark the beginning of a new era of Indian cricket under the leadership of head coach Gautam Gambhir. This is India’s first major series after the victory in the T20 World Cup. Some big decisions were taken in the Indian team before the tour. The biggest decision of which was to make Suryakumar Yadav the captain of T20I in place of Hardik Pandya. Regarding this, Ajit Agarkar told that Suryakumar Yadav has been appointed captain considering the fitness of Hardik Pandya.

Meanwhile, the Indian team has reached Sri Lanka for the T20 series and they held their first practice session there on Tuesday. Hardik Pandya was seen in a jovial mood during the first practice session. He had fun with the new assistant coach Abhishek Nair. In fun, he got into a fight with Nair over the boundary. Let us tell you what happened between the two.

Hardik Pandya clashed with Abhishek Nair during practice session

Hardik interacted with head coach Gautam Gambhir during the training session. He practiced against two openers – Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, who were asked to attack all the bowlers in the 40-minute net session. Hardik then practiced batting under the supervision of Nair, who later put him in match situations. A reporter from RevSportz was present during the shadow practice.

The reporter said that Hardik hit a shot towards point and immediately claimed that it was a boundary. Nair disagreed and said that he had placed a fielder in that area. When Hardik asked about the exact placement of the fielder, Nair pointed to the spot where the reporter wearing a red T-shirt was standing.

When Nair asked the reporter about the shot on Hardik’s insistence, he said, “If you have placed your fielder here, then it is a boundary.” Nair and Hardik laughed at this funny answer. Nair mistook the reporter for a fan, after which Hardik clarified. Hardik eventually won the practice match and at the end of two practice sessions, he also interacted with the reporter.
