India was dealt with a big blow as all-rounder and vice-captain Hardik Pandya got injured during the team's ongoing clash versus Bangladesh in ICC ODI World Cup on Thursday (Oct 19) in Pune. After being asked to bowl first, Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue were struggling to get rid of the Bangladeshi openers Litton Das andTanzid Hasan when the captain turned to Hardik in the ninth over.
Hardik did not start well,conceding two back-to-backboundaries after a dot ball. While conceding his second four, on the third delivery, hetried to stop the white cherry with his right leg in his follow through and slipped. He was on the ground for quite some time and attended by the team physio before getting up. Still struggling to run, the 30-year-old walked off the field with former captain Virat Kohli completing his over. Since then, Hardik has remained out of action.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has now provided a massive update on his injury. BCCI wrote on X, formerly Twitter, "Hardik Pandya's injury is being assessed at the moment and he is being taken for scans."
Since Hardik's departure, India have managed to tighten the screws of Bangladesh with regular breakthroughs. Litton (66) and Tanzid (51) have returned to the pavillion whereas the likes of stand-in captainNajmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy Hasan Miraz fell in quick succession with Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Sirajand Kuldeep Yadav being among wickets.
