Star Indian cricketers Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson made an impressive gesture following India’s 3-0 series sweep against Bangladesh in T20Is. The third and final T20I occurred at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on (Saturday) October 12, where Team India demolished Bangladesh by 133 runs.

The home team’s victory was guided by a record-breaking total of 297/6, courtesy of Samson’s maiden T20I century and Pandya’s explosive late flourish. In response, Bangladesh could only manage 164, falling well short of the target. However, after the game, Team India cricket stars Pandya and Samson took time to pose for pictures with the ground staff of the Hyderabad stadium.
