In a surprising turn of events, the Indian cricket team has faced an unforeseen setback with all-rounder Hardik Pandya being sidelined for the remainder of the 2023 ICC World Cup.
This unfortunate development emerged after Pandya sustained an ankle injury during the match against Bangladesh on 19 October. His attempt to stop the ball with his leg resulted in a left ankle twist, forcing him out of the tournament.
Initially, there was hope for Pandya’s return in the semi-final stage, but it has now been confirmed that he won’t recover in time. Stepping into his shoes, pacer Prasidh Krishna has been drafted into the squad, taking on the challenge in Pandya’s absence.
The team faces an unexpected hurdle as they progress further in the World Cup, with fans hoping for a swift recovery for the talented all-rounder.
