Hardik Pandya's ice-cold stare and confident swagger shine as he executes internet-breaking no-look ramp shot in India's victory in 1st T20I against BAN

Pandya was determined to finish the match quickly as he stepped up to the crease to face the first ball, with India needing just 12 runs to secure victory in their chase of 128. With the score at 116 for 3, he decided to challenge Taskin in the 12th over. Taskin delivered a short ball aimed at Pandya's body, but at the last moment, Pandya executed a no-look ramp shot over the wicketkeeper. He didn't even bother to see where the ball ended up, instead keeping his gaze fixed on the bowler. Taskin and his teammates were left in disbelief, while the commentators couldn't stop praising Pandya for his incredible shot that only he could have managed to pull off.

The no-look ramp shot would soon be a talking point and go viral for sure on social media. Pandya once again proved his worth as an allrounder in T20 cricket by chipping in with a wicket and scoring an unbeaten quickfire of 39 off 16 balls, studded with two sixes and five hits to the fence. Pandya's all-round show helped India win the match by seven wickets and take 1-0 lead in the series. Thanks to the Pandya knock, India won the match with most balls (49) to spare, a little milestone on the way.

The run-chase became a canter for India with the openers Sanju Samson (29) and Abhishek Sharma (16) starting off rapidly. After Abhishek's unfortunate run out, Samson along with Suryakumar Yadav (29) kept the intent going and played their natural shots. After both the batters fell, it was Pandya and debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy (16 not out) who put up a fifty-run stand to see India over the line.
