Hardik Pandya and Namibia captain Gerhard Erasmus tickled the funny bone of the watching fans during the IND vs NAM clash in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. The duo collided as Erasmus tried to save a run while Hardik was aiming to sneak a single. It resulted in Hardik lying on top of Erasmus, with the two and the fans watching sharing a laugh over it.
The incident occurred in the 12th over of the Indian innings. Facing the final ball of the over, Shivam Dube knocked one straight to Erasmus. The Namibia captain almost pushed Hardik Pandya out of the way to make the stop. The Indian all-rounder, who tried to sneak a single, landed on top of him. The two had a laugh about it and the video went viral on social media.
Both Erasmus and Pandya, two star all-rounders of their respective sides, had their say in the India vs Namibia contest. Erasmus bowled a miserly spell to help Namibia claw back into the contest. In his three overs, the spinner struck twice, dismissing Ishan Kishan and Tilak Varma.
Hardik has his own moment of glory. The India all-rounder stitched a valuable partnership with Shivam Dube to ensure that the Men in Blue made it past the 200-run mark in Delhi.
