Watch: Kane Williamson protects the Trophy from falling with his quick reflexes; Hardik Pandya left amazed

After losing their respective semis in the 20-20 World Cup 2022, both India and New Zealand are ready to ‘move on’. They will start with a three-match T20I and ODI from November 18 to 30. At first, the T20I series will be played between both teams. Meanwhile, with only two days left at the start of the series, a funny incident has been doing the round on social media.

Apparently, the captains of both teams, Kane Williamson and Hardik Pandya were posing for the pre-series photoshoot. However, due to the heavy breeze, the cardboard stuff on which the trophy was placed, started collapsing. While Pandya was trying to save the cardboard, the Kiwi took an ‘opportunity to grab’ the trophy. In the video, he was heard saying “I’ll have that!”
