Hardik Pandya’s worsened injury became public on December 23, Saturday, with rumours indicating that the new Mumbai Indians skipper is questionable for the IPL 2024. Here’s how it was received on social media.
Hardik Pandya, the new captain of the Mumbai Indians, could miss the entire Indian Premier League 2024 because he is still healing from an injury sustained during the previous ICC Cricket World Cup. Pandya injured his ankle against Bangladesh in the league stage in Pune and did not return to the competition.
Pandya missed India’s bilateral T20 International series against Australia and was left out of the squad for India’s Tour of South Africa in 2023-24 due to his injury. If his worsened injury is confirmed, Pandya would also miss India’s series against Afghanistan and England.
Mumbai Indians recovered Pandya in a pre-auction draft move after losing him to Gujarat Titans two years ago after releasing him for the mega auction. Pandya was picked as the new captain of his previous squad in an unexpected move, with stalwart Rohit Sharma demoted to the bench.
