Pandya May Be Out Of Afghanistan Series Also
Let us tell you that Hardik Pandya was injured during the ICC World Cup 2023. Pandya has not yet recovered from that injury. Due to injury, Hardik could not be a part of the 5-match T20 series played against Australia, nor the ODI and T20 series against South Africa. Pandya is also finding it difficult to get back in the T20 series against Afghanistan. Also, a BCCI source told PTI that Pandya’s injury is still severe and may be out of the entire IPL tournament. This could cause a big blow to Mumbai Indians.
