In the 3rd T20I match between India and New Zealand, star all-rounder Hardik Pandya took a blinder to dismiss Devon Conway in the third ball of the first innings. Harshit Rana bowled a full delivery and Conway played it down the pitch and moves leg-side to take the aerial route to try and go over mid-off.

While he was hoping to clear the thirty-yard circle and go towards the boundary, Pandya timed his jump and caught the ball, leaving the batter in shock and the fans, ecstatic. He had his eyes on the ball and even when it was going away, he managed to grab it on time. New Zealand lost their first wicket early, something which they might not have anticipated.

Soon after Conway's dismissal, Rachin Ravindra followed him back into the pavillion. He played a pull shot towards the deep square leg but to his surprise, he found a fielder there. Ravi Bishnoi took the catch comfortably and the batter had to return back to the dugout. As we write, New Zealand have lost two wickets so far.

Be the same way: Suryakumar Yadav

Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav looked in great form in the last two matches and was quite confident during the toss as well. When he was asked about giving one advice to his teammates ahead of the game, he asked them to be fearless and repeat the good habits in the upcoming match.

India are just a win away from clinching another series victory in T20I cricket. Under captain Suryakumar, the team looks unbeaten and with the T20 World Cup 2026 coming up, this form will be extremely helpful.

"I think let's let's try and repeat the good habits, be the same way, enjoy, be fearless, take your own calls when you're inside because two batters or bowlers who are bowling, I think they're the best to judge inside. Enjoy it and at the same time be a little humble as well," said SKY at the toss.
