South Africa vs India 2018: 5 key run-outs in the second Test

#2 Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya run out by Vernon Phillander

The adage 'what goes around comes around' is most appropriate in Pandya's case. He effected Amla's run out in South Africa's first innings that shifted the momentum of the match. Little did he then know that his run out would swing back the pendulum in favour of the Proteas.

It was the first session of Day 3. All hopes were pinned on Captain Kohli and all-rounder Pandya to bail India out of trouble. Pandya defended a ball that went straight to Philander at mid on. Pandya ambled a few steps and then jogged back to the crease.

Philander pulled off a direct hit that was referred to the third umpire. As it turned out, Hardik Pandya's bat and foot were in the air over the crease when the ball dislodged the bails.
