Mount Maunganui, Jan 28 (IBNS): Hardik Pandya returned to the Indian squad for the third ODI match against New Zealand and at once earned the appreciation of fans as he took a stunning catch to dismiss Blackcaps' captain Kane Williamson.
Hardik took a stunning catch off Yuzvendra Chahal's bowling to show Kane the way towards the pavilion.
