A video of the second match of the T20 series is getting viral on the Internet in which it was seen that Hardik was informing other teammates that he is captaining the side. This incident took place during the 4th over of the New Zealand inning.
Yuzvendra Chahal was bowling in this over and on the 4th bowl of this over Mark Chapman tried to play a sweep shot but that ball hits him and the Indian players appealed. The umpire didn’t give him out but they were willing to take the review without taking the advice of Hardik which Hardik said to them that ” I am the captain of this team.”
