Pandya was the happiest man on the field after Stokes' dismissal as he thanked Dhawan for not replicating his mistake and taking the catch neatly. Even Delhi Capitals (DC), the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Dhawan plays for, couldn't hold themselves back as they trolled Pandya hilariously.

While Stokes couldn't replicate his heroics from the other night, the contest was far from getting over. Chasing 330 in the decider, the Three Lions lost wickets at regular intervals, but that didn't restrict the scoring rate.
