Pandya’s direct throw at the striker’s end in the final over of England’s chase ended Bethell’s innings of 102. After the dismissal, the 32-year-old reacted with an animated celebration and tried to lift the team’s energy. Pandya later said the reaction came because his son Agastya and girlfriend Mahieka Sharma were watching the match from the stands, and he wanted them to experience his emotions at that moment.
