“I remember the conversation you were having when you were not in the scheme of things, a lot of people counted you out,” Hardik told Karthik during the chat.India were struggling at 81/4 in the 13th over when stand-in skipper Pant was dismissed for 17. It brought Karthik and Hardik together and the pair revived the Indian innings with a brisk partnership of 65 runs.

“I remember those conversations. You told me then that my goal is to play for India again and the goal is to play this World Cup, I am going to give it my everything, and seeing you achieve that is very inspirational. “A lot of people are going to learn new things. Well done my brother, very proud of you,” Hardik added.

Karthik smashed nine fours and two sixes in his entertaining 55-run knock, Hardik made 46 off 31 balls to prop up the India innings. The series decider will be played at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday.
