The Complete Overview of Hardik Pandya Injury

The Indian cricket team, captained by Rohit Sharma, has had a great start to their Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign. However, on Thursday, during their match against Bangladesh in Pune, all-rounder Hardik Pandya suffered a leg injury that caused him to walk off the field. During the 9th over of the Bangladeshi innings, Pandya tried to stop a drive from Litton Das with his right leg, but he slipped in the process. Pandya appeared to be in discomfort as he landed painfully on his left leg, forcing the physiotherapist to race to the Situation. Even though it appeared that Pandya would be able to continue. His running was becoming problematic, therefore the team management made the decision to remove him from the attack and give the ball to Virat Kohli.

Virat Kohli bowled in an ODI for the first time in six years and finished Pandya’s over.

India’s victory over Bangladesh was their fourth consecutive victory in the ongoing World Cup tournament.

What did Rohit Sharma say after the match?

Rohit Sharma said  “We were pleased with our victory, which we had anticipated. We had a rough start, but the boys turned things around in the middle and towards the finish of the innings. You can manage it and give it your all; our fielding has been excellent in every one of these contests. The bowlers were sufficiently intelligent to know where to bowl.

“Hardik Pandya pulled up a little sore, but nothing too serious to be concerned about. We’ll wait and see how he arrives tomorrow morning before deciding how to proceed. Every member of the team has experienced pressure; large crowds are expected; the stands are packed; they have not let us down; they have been outstanding; as the game progresses, I have no doubt that their noise level will increase even more.
