Hardik Pandya’s injury situation remains uncertain as the Indian team awaits scan results. The all-rounder suffered a left ankle twist during a recent match against Bangladesh in Pune. This occurred during the ninth over of the game, and despite his effort to continue, he had to leave the field. Virat Kohli completed the over. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that Pandya underwent a scan, and the results are now being sent to a specialist in Mumbai for assessment.
After the scans, Pandya briefly returned to the ground, and it is reported that he would have batted if needed. India went on to comfortably win the match, chasing down Bangladesh’s 257-run target with ease. While Rohit Sharma downplayed the severity of Pandya’s injury, stating it’s not a major concern, there are still concerns about his availability for the next match against New Zealand in Dharamsala on October 22.
Pandya is reportedly experiencing significant pain in his ankle, which prevented him from completing the over after the injury. KL Rahul, when asked about Pandya’s condition, indicated that he has no updates on his teammate’s injury status. Stay tuned for further developments on Hardik Pandya’s injury as the Mumbai specialist assesses the scan reports.
