Having bowled only three deliveries, Hardik Pandya sustained an injury on his left ankle and left the ground after taping. He was not seen with the ball again, and with the bat, India did not require Pandya’s services during the chase of a 257-run target.
Interestingly, as a subplot, the other three deliveries of the all-rounder’s over was bowled by Virat Kohli.
What Is the Update on Hardik Pandya’s Injury?
Following the incident, the Board of Control for Cricket in India had stated that Hardik Pandya was taken to a hospital for scans.
However, Rohit Sharma has now confirmed there are no reasons to worry, as the injury is not serious.
