Hardik Pandya's Spectacular 'No-Look Six' Takes India to 181/9 in T20I Against England

 Hardik Pandya's Spectacular 'No-Look Six' Takes India to 181/9 in T20I Against England

On Friday, Hardik Pandya showcased his batting brilliance in the fourth T20 International against England, playing a pivotal role in India’s total of 181/9. Coming in at No. 7 with the Indian top order struggling against England’s pacers, Pandya’s aggressive yet calculated approach helped India recover from a precarious position. His innings of 53 runs from just 30 balls, which included four boundaries and as many sixes, was a testament to his immense power and composure under pressure.


Pandya’s remarkable half-century was highlighted by an unforgettable “No-Look Six” off Jamie Overton, which quickly became the talk of the cricketing world. His signature style of effortlessly launching balls into the stands, while exuding confidence, left fans in awe. This moment is already being discussed as one of the most iconic shots in recent cricket history.

Shivam Dube, making a comeback to the national side, supported Pandya with a gritty 53 off 34 balls. The pair put on an important 87-run partnership for the sixth wicket, allowing India to recover from a tough situation after the team was reduced to 12 for 3 by England’s pacers. Saqib Mahmood, who claimed 3 wickets for 35 runs, had the Indian batsmen in trouble early, with his well-directed short balls catching out key players.

Dube’s partnership with Pandya was crucial, as they managed to take India to a competitive total in the back-10 overs, scoring 109 runs. Pandya, known for his finishing abilities, started cautiously but switched gears when required, taking on the English bowlers in the final overs.

The early collapse, where India lost three wickets for just 12 runs, set the tone for a dramatic recovery. Sanju Samson fell to a short ball, while in-form Tilak Varma and captain Suryakumar Yadav also departed cheaply. Despite this, Dube and Pandya’s fearless hitting gave India the momentum, with the former playing some explosive shots against both spin and pace.

Pandya’s key contributions included elegant cover drives and a six that soared over long-off, followed by a short-arm pull and slap that added to the excitement. Even though his innings came to an end due to one shot too many, his aggressive style set the stage for India to post a challenging total.

As the Indian team heads into the second half of the match, all eyes are now on how the bowlers will back up the strong finish provided by their middle order. The match has turned into a thrilling encounter, with Hardik Pandya’s sixes and the team's resilience making it one to remember.

Why is Shoaib Akhtar Upset After India vs Pakistan Clash? No Handshake Sparks Fresh Controversy India Crushes Pakistan in Asia Cup 2025

 Team India registered their second consecutive win in the Asia Cup 2025 by defeating Pakistan by 7 wickets. With this victory, India secured a place in the Super-4. But beyond the result, another story stole the spotlight — the no-handshake incident. Indian Players Walk Away Without Handshake After sealing the win, captain Suryakumar Yadav and all-rounder Shivam Dube walked straight to the dugout without greeting the Pakistani players. The absence of the customary handshake created a buzz both on and off the field. Shoaib Akhtar’s Reaction Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar shared his disappointment on a sports show: "India played brilliantly, but this should not be turned into politics. A handshake is part of the spirit of cricket. If I were in their place, I would have shaken hands. Arguments and disputes happen everywhere — even at home — but they should not be stretched further." Tension Even at the Toss The unease wasn’t limited to the end of the match. At the toss...
