PUNE, India (Reuters) - After racing to the fastest one-day international (ODI) fifty by a debutant, India's Krunal Pandya dedicated Tuesday's record-breaking knock against England to his late father who died of a cardiac arrest in January.
Making his ODI debut with his brother Hardik also in the side, Krunal came in at 205-5 and raced to a 26-ball fifty, stitching together a 112-run partnership with KL Rahul to give India a commanding total of 317 in 50 overs.
