A heated conversation between India head coach Gautam Gambhir and star all-rounder Hardik Pandya after the 51-run defeat against South Africa in the second T20 International in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh on Thursday has become the big talking point on social media.

A video showing Gambhir and Hardik engaged in an animated chat after the defeat has gone viral. There is no audio in the clip but the body language of the two suggests that they could be discussing intensely over something.



Hardik copped a lot of flak for his slow knock of 20 runs from 23 balls as he failed to find the boundaries with India chasing a huge 214 for victory.

Gambhir was also criticised for India's move to promote Axar Patel to No 3, who made 21 from as many balls as India struggled for momentum in the middle overs.

 

The five-match series is level at 1-1 after India won the first T20I by 101 runs. The third match will be played in Dharamsala on Sunday, December 14.
