The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team which is facing Bangladesh in the ODI World Cup 2023, currently taking place at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. The match unexpectedly changed in the ninth over as the entire world anxiously watched when Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya sustained an injury.
The team physio sprinted onto the field at this critical juncture in the game to evaluate Hardik’s condition. Hardik seemed visibly uncomfortable, and the situation was nothing short of alarming. The crowd, which included spectators in the stadium and viewers glued to their screens, eagerly awaited information regarding the severity of the injury.
The extent of Hardik Pandya’s injury has not been publicly disclosed by the Indian Cricket Board. Nevertheless, they did issue a statement saying that “Hardik Pandya’s injury is being assessed at this time, and he is being taken for scans.” The uncertainty surrounding the situation was only increased by this evasive statement.
News coming in that Hardik has been taken to the hospital for scans, ruling him out of the first innings 🫠
Another important piece of information was quickly communicated by television broadcasters. Hardik would not be able to field for the entirety of Bangladesh’s innings due to the injury, it was revealed. He wouldn’t be able to bat until 120 minutes had passed or after five wickets had been taken, which provided some hope for the Indian team and its supporters. The change was made based on the fact that the injury was internal as opposed to external.
