Bleed Blue is dominating the International cricket in every format. With stunning victory against Australia and sealing the series in 3rd ODI, Team India has become the World No. 1 in the ICC ODI Rankings. With the loss in 4th ODI., India’s ranking came down to 2nd.
The victories aren’t built on one person’s shoulders, it is Rohit Sharma’s well-begun pace, Rahane’s stand and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Bumrah’s ace bowling that made Indian team what it is now. Hardik Pandya, the name that doesn’t need description at all, from the past dozen matches, he became show stealer of the team India.
He did absolutely well with both bat and ball in 3rd ODI, his elegance with the bat is all that added starring 78 runs for the totalle, marching Indian squad towards victory. Pandya is unanimously the allrounder TeamIndia needs, the harbinger of success.
Social media has been going gaga over this two-time player of the match person. To bag such a craze and stardom within very few matches is simply rare and astounding. Critics compared him with the 1983 World Cup winning team’s captain Hardik Pandya. With such a galore and gracefulness he truly deserves those adjectives.
All on another hand, it was Harsha Bhogle’s commentary that entertained us all the way throughout the match. He truly is a gem, we know very well of his knowledge in cricket and the way he speaks, sensibly bold and impressive. But, sadly there are people who aren’t getting his eloquence, a Twitter user named ‘Helio’ posted a direct question to the commentator, asked him to spell Pandya’s name correctly.
He wrote: “@bhogleharsha Dude man. As an Indian, u shud know how to say Indian names right. It’s Paandya, not Pandya. Pls, it’s f**ing annoying 2 da ear.”

Well, coming to the facts, ‘Pandya’s pronunciation in Hindi (Pandya’s spelling in Hindi- पंड्या, and not पांड्या) is not at all different from its pronunciation in English, Harsha, annoyed with this, gave a sweet yet burning reply. He, in his tweet, wrote: “Does anyone want to tell this poor fellow he might need to be corrected?”

Two arguments for Harsha:
1 Different parts of India, different pronunciation;
2 Proper nouns, incl names, no right/wrong pronunciation !— Daraius Ardeshir (@DEArdeshir) September 24, 2017
It’s very Indian to start with ‘Dude man’ and spray profanity in tweet length.
