Watch: Hardik Pandya's Animated Celebration After Winning Toss vs PBKS Leaves Twitter In Splits
IPL 2022: Hardik Pandya shared a light moment with Mayank Agarwal at the toss ahead of Gujarat Titans' match against Punjab Kings.
The toss ahead of a cricket match has usually been a fairly sophisticated affair, with both captains sharing team sheets and shaking hands before they get ready to compete against each other. However, with leagues like the Indian Premier League (IPL) pitting close friends against each other, sometimes even the toss becomes an event in itself. On Tuesday, ahead of Gujarat Titans' clash against Punjab Kings, Hardik Pandya engaged in some hilarious banter with opposition skipper Mayank Agarwal. After Hardik tossed the coin up and Mayank called it wrong, the Gujarat Titans skipper pumped his fists and let out a celebratory "Yes!" as if he had taken a wicket or won the match.
