What did Pandya do after scoring his half-century? (PC-PTI)

Hardik Pandya Batting: Where matters are big, Pandyas stand. Team India's all-rounder Hardik Pandya has once again shown his importance for the Indian team. Hardik Pandya played a stormy innings of 52 runs in 28 balls against Namibia. In this innings he hit 4 sixes and 4 fours. Pandya played this innings at a time when the middle order of Team India failed miserably. Tilak Verma and Suryakumar Yadav could not play big innings and Rinku and Akshar Patel also did not play. At such a time, Hardik scored a strong half-century. Hardik also celebrated in a special way during this powerful innings, which has become a topic of discussion. Pandya pointed towards his neck after scoring half-century, know why he did this?
