<p>Krunal gave a fitting tribute to his father by smashing the fastest 50 on debut in ODI cricket and helped India get into a strong position heading into the second innings of the match.&nbsp;</p>

Krunal Pandya on Tuesday created a world record of scoring the fastest half-century on debut in ODI cricket as he smashed a 26-ball 50 to rescue India from a difficult spot in the first ODI against England at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. While Krunal hammered the English bowlers all over the park, the left-handed all-rounder got emotional after the end of the innings and was spotted hugging his brother Hardik Pandya and crying. “This one is for my dad.
