South Africa vs India 2018: 5 reasons why Kohli's penchant for Hardik Pandya is disturbing India's balance

#4 Careless attitude

Pandya threw his wicket away in both the innings at Centurion

Twice in the 2nd Test, Pandya gave evidence of his heady demeanour. In the first innings he made a boyish error when he did not ground his bat while running between the wickets. As a result, his feet and bat were in the air when the ball hit the stumps and he was run out. In the second innings, when the team needed him to save the match, he again chose to depart by playing a rash shot.

Even the legendary Kapil Dev could not help but vent his frustration. While talking to ABP news, the Captain of the 1983 World Cup-winning team said, "If Pandya keeps making silly mistakes like these then he doesn't deserve to be compared with me."
