Pandya sustained injury during his very first over against Bangladesh while trying to stop a shot from Litton Das by stretching his leg, resulting in him slipping and twisting his ankle. Indian team’s physio rushed to the field, and Pandya had to be assisted off the ground. Initially, it was hoped that Pandya would return for India’s match against England, but that didn’t happen.

Pandya, a vital player for India in the World Cup, posed a significant challenge for the team due to his injury. Following his injury, India made two changes to their line-up by including Mohammed Shami and Suryakumar Yadav in the team and benched Shardul Thakur. Despite Pandya’s absence, Indian team have been performing exceptionally well. India have already secured a spot in the semi-finals and are the only undefeated team so far. India have won seven consecutive matches and are set to face South Africa at Eden Gardens in Kolkata next.
