A big hug from the brother Krunal went straight to Hardik, who then embraced his inconsolable brother. That very moment between the Pandya brothers melted the hearts of the Twitterati.

‘This scene broke me’ It was a very emotional moment for the Pandya brothers.

Cricket is an emotion in India Cricket has never been ‘just a game’ in India.
