Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya was carried off on a stretcher after an injury during the ongoing Asia Cup 2018 clash against Pakistan on Wednesday.
The incident took place in the 18th over (17.5) when Babar Azam was batting on 35 and Pandya missed his footing in his follow-through.
Pandya fell down in pain and was soon surrounded by his teammates and was attended by the Indian team physio.
In a statement released by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) saying, "Injury update - @hardikpandya7 has an acute lower back injury. 'He is able to stand at the moment and the medical team is assessing him now. Manish Pandey is on the field as his substitute #TeamIndia #AsiaCup."
Ambati Rayudu bowled the last delivery to complete the over while Manish Pandey was called in as the substitute fielder.
Later, Pandey took a stunning catch on the boundary to dismiss Pakistan skipper Sarfraz Ahmed.
