Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya sustained a left ankle injury during the match against Bangladesh, causing him to miss games against New Zealand. Reports now suggest he will be sidelined for India's upcoming matches against England and Sri Lanka. Hardik is currently at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore, and his return may occur in Mumbai or Kolkata, where India faces South Africa on November 5. The team management is cautious not to rush his comeback due to their five-match winning streak. Pandya's absence has necessitated changes in the squad, impacting India's recent encounter against New Zealand.
