WATCH | Gautam Gambhir-Hardik Pandya Have Heated Exchange After India Lose 2nd T20I in Mullanpur

Ind vs SA: Things are not looking upbeat inside the Indian dressing-room. Coach Gautam Gambhir did not seem to be in a good frame of mind after the hosts lost the second T20I at Mullanpur against South Africa. After the loss, Gambhir was seen having an animated chat with allrounder Hardik Pandya. It was not the best of outings for the popular allrounder as he scored a scratchy 20 off 23 balls. Pandya never seemed to get momentum during his knock, which was contrasting to how he played at Cuttack in the opening game. In the Cuttack game, he hit a blistering 59* off 28 balls and was awarded the player of the match. Here is the clip of the conversation that has now surfaced on social space and is going viral.

Gambhir has already been facing the heat for making drastic changes in the batting order. After the first wicket fell, Axar Patel was made to bat at No. 3 ahead of Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma. India lost the game by 51 runs to squander away the lead in the five-match series. For SA, Quinton de Kock was the star. He hit a brilliant 90 off 46 balls and was the player of the match. Ottneil Baartman with four wickets in his spell was the best Protean bowler on display.

Will Changes be Made For 3rd T20I? 

There are talks that Sanju Samson may be considered for the XI after Shubman Gill failed to get amongst the runs in both the games. Apart from that, it would be interesting to see if Arshdeep Singh, who was expensive at Mullanpur would again make the XI or not. The third game of the series takes place at Dharamsala on December 14.
