India's Cricket World Cup campaign suffered a setback as all-rounder Hardik Pandya limped off the field with a leg injury during their match against Bangladesh. While attempting to stop a shot from Litton Das in the 9th over, Pandya slipped and landed awkwardly on his left leg. He was visibly in pain and struggled to run properly, forcing the team management to take him out of the attack. The BCCI later stated that Pandya's injury is being assessed and he has been taken for scans. The early departure of the crucial Pandya could hamper India's plans for the remainder of the high-stakes match and beyond if the injury turns out to be serious. His availability for upcoming games will be a concern for India as they aim to balance their World Cup squad.
