The all-rounder on Sunday took to Twitter and posted a selfie with other team India members. The selfie was clicked on the sidelines of Indian summer festival at the Yarra Park and Pandya captured all his teammates in it. The 25-year-old captioned the image as ‘best self ever’ and apparently it was!

Pandya is a happy-go-lucky character in team India and his presence for sure would have lifted the mood up in the Indian dressing room following the defeat in Perth.
