Hardik Pandya has been on the sidelines ever since the ICC ODI World Cup. India’s premiere all-rounder was injured midway through the 50-over World Cup. Ever since, Pandya has missed a lot of action in the Blue of India. He missed the Afghanistan T20I series, followed by the five-match Test series against England.
Pandya was, amidst of his injury, handed an “A Grade” contract in the BCCI Central contracts. The Baroda-born cricketer received a lot of stick by the fans and critics. However, Pandya has been hard-skinned enough to fend off all the criticism off his shoulders.
Recently, Pandya opened up to media house Star Sports, about his ankle injury during the World Cup. He revealed how it was unfathomable for him to accept a four-month injury, instead of a ‘five-day’ one.

The younger Pandya remorsed how he wanted to give everything to play for his country, and how it was just not meant to be for him. He recalled how he even underwent a medicine course in a hope to feature in the then-going ODI World Cup, in November 2023.
(But) Then recurrence came as I was pushing so it become 3 month injury, I wasn’t able to walk still I was taking pain-killers for 10 days to push one final time as playing for my country is the biggest pride but I missed out, the 30-year-old recalled.
