In the India vs South Africa match, Hardik Pandya came out to bat in the 13th over after Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed and opened his account with a six off the very first ball bowled by Corbin Bosch. He advanced to a length outside the off-stump and hit the six, but the ball hit the shoulder of a cameraman standing next to the dugout, shocking everyone there.
Coach Gautam Gambhir was also frightened by the sight. Later, the physio went to check on him and applied a spray. After India’s innings ended, Hardik was also seen applying an ice pack to the cameraman.
