India suffered an unexpected setback in their match against Bangladesh in the ongoing ODI World Cup as all-rounder Hardik Pandya was forced to leave the field due to an ankle injury. The incident unfolded during the ninth over of the game, adding a dramatic twist to the encounter.
Pandya’s misfortune struck during the third delivery of the ninth over when he attempted to halt a powerful straight drive from Bangladesh’s opener, Litton Das. Pandya aimed to stop the ball using his right foot in a follow-through attempt. Regrettably, this effort led to an ankle twist, causing the all-rounder to stumble and take a painful tumble to the ground.
From the moment he attempted to rise to his feet, Pandya experienced discomfort, and following a brief delay in treatment, he received strapping on his injured right ankle. Despite these efforts, it became evident that he could not continue, leading to his departure from the field. His absence prompted the entry of Suryakumar Yadav as a substitute fielder. “Hardik Pandya’s injury is being assessed at the moment, and he is being taken for scans,” BCCI posted on X, while updating the situation.
