What Indian cricket team fans feared the most has happened. Despite being undefeated in their Cricket World Cup 2023, Team India desperately needed their best XI to lift the title. However, with the news of their star all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, being ruled out of the tournament due to his ankle injury, fans have lost all hope.
Pandya suffered an ankle injury while trying to stop a ball while bowling against Bangladesh in Pune last month. The all-rounder was initially supposed to return for India’s final league game on November 12. Unfortunately for the Men in Blue and their fans, the 30-year-old hasn’t recovered.
