"The match started on a bad note with Virat losing the toss. Then the quick dismissals of our openers. I can't say much about the tactics because it is on the experts to decide. But with Hardik not bowling, not fielding, it just didn't feel right. Very disappointed with the loss," Tharoor told reporters after the game.

Hardik had been taken for scans after he received a blow on his shoulder during the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup game against Pakistan.

"Hardik Pandya was hit on his right shoulder while batting. He has now gone for scans," the BCCI's media team had informed.

This is the first time that India has lost a T20I by ten wickets. Coincidentally, this is also the first time that Pakistan has won a T20I by ten wickets.
