India all-rounder Hardik Pandya took to social media to pass on a heartfelt message to his elder brother for his birthday, on Wednesday. A day before turning 30, Krunal Pandya had a night to remember, as he made his ODI debut for India, in a 66-run win against England. Krunal, who is also an all-rounder, slammed an unbeaten knock of 58 runs, and also reached his half-century in 26 balls (the fastest by a debutant in ODIs).
Krunal was in tears after his whirlwind knock, and broke down during an interview at the innings break. With Krunal’s help, India set a target of 318 runs for England. The hosts won the match by 66 runs. Taking to Twitter, Hardik wrote, “We’re on this journey together bhai right from the start The highs, the lows, I’m lucky to have you by my side. Happy birthday big bro @krunalpandya24”.

Krunal also revealed that the knock was dedicated to his father, who passed away in January. Overcome with emotions during the innings break, he found some solace from his younger brother, who gave him a tight hug.
Krunal’s knock consisted of seven fours and two sixes, and he also built an unbeaten 112-run partnership with KL Rahul. Even Rahul registered an unbeaten half-century, scoring 62 runs.
Other than his impressive batting display, Krunal also bowled 10 overs, taking a wicket and conceding 59 runs.
